Group enjoying SKYWIRE Experience ride above lush forest.

Start off with a 4 km ride in a comfortable minibus to the launch platform of the Skywire, set 300 meters above the base cafe. On the way, your guides will regale you with interesting facts and stories about the park as well the surrounding areas.

The Skywire takes up to 4 people at a time, securely strapped to a 5-point harness in individual racing car style seats. Enjoy 10 minutes of thrilling experience as you cover a 700 meters journey in each direction, reaching up to speeds of 100 km per hour and 800 meters of gravity-assisted freewheeling in each direction. The backward trip to the starting point is considered a highlight by many people.
