The experience
The tour starts with gearing up and training at the base, then a short walk into the forest to reach the launch platform. From there, your guide leads you through six ziplines strung between timber platforms high in the blue gum canopy. Each line takes you deeper into the forest ecosystem: your guides point out the native trees and wildlife as you move from platform to platform, learning about Hollybank's unique landscape while you're suspended in it.
The final zipline is the one people remember: a 400-metre flight that stretches across the valley and over the Piper River, reaching 50 metres above the forest floor. It's the longest ride in Australia. Digital photos of the whole experience are included, so you have a record of the moment. The tour wraps in 2.5 hours total, which means the rest of your day in Launceston stays open.
Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing: avoid skirts or dresses because of the harness. The weight limit is 135kg. Children under 40kg or under 7 years old ride tandem with an adult. Lockers are available to store your belongings while you're on the lines. Spectators can watch from the site for free if you want someone to see you off.
Is this one for you?The 2.5-hour timeframe means you can fit the zipline into a morning or afternoon and still have time for other things in Launceston. Groups stay under 12 people, so you're not waiting in a large queue between lines or sharing platforms with crowds.
