Skywire Nelson Park, Nelson 7071, Nelson Region, New Zealand
The Worlds longest Flying Fox – set right here in Nelson. The one of a kind experience is a shot of adrenaline mixed with an amazing scenic ride high above the forest canopy.
Set 300 metres above the base café your trip starts with a 4km mini-bus journey up through the park to the launch platform of the Skywire. Your guides will entertain you on the trip up with facts and stories of the park and surrounding areas.
The ride takes up to 4 people at a time, seated side by side, strapped into individual racing car style seats with 5 point harnesses and can reach speeds of up to 100km/hr.
The ride takes you both forward and backwards, with 800 metres of gravity assisted freewheeling in each direction – finishing back at the start after nearly 10 minutes of thrilling adventure. Many people rate the return backwards as the highlight of the trip. Universally appealing for every age (minimum height of 1.2m applies).
The Skywire is weather depedendant – we don’t operate in heavy rain or high winds. Bookings not always essential but highly reccommended in the busy summer season. See the online booking portal for current trip times and availability.
Open daily from 9am – 4:30pm
