Zipline Perth! You are never too old to get excited about zip lining, although I think we called them flying foxes in my day. Luckily there are plenty of places to zip line in and around Perth. From the city to the forest, in the day time and under twilight. Zip whichever way you choose at one or all of these zip lining experiences both in the city and only a short road trip from Perth away.
Don’t let winter put you off. Ziplining is quite physical and will no doubt have you working up a bit of a sweat. The cooler weather is the perfect time to zip line if you pick a sunny day or a day with only light rain about. Especially when zip lining through the forest, rain can add to the experience, you may even get a rainbow backdrop for your zip line.
These Perth zipline experiences run all year round on selected days (see websites for open days / times) and are only cancelled due to severe weather warnings or total fire bans.

Matagarup Zip & Climb Perth
Express zipline with a walk up half of the bridge or climb all the way over the Matagarup Bridge then zipline back down to the safety of the eastern banks of the Swan River. The Matagarup Bridge is a footbridge that connects East Perth with the Burswood Foreshore and Optus Stadium just a few kilometers from Perth city. It was not designed to be climbed so the full bridge climb option does have some fitness requirements, however there is a less difficult option with a half bridge climb too. The Zip & Climb experiences are available for participants 8 years and older (height and weight restrictions also apply).
Matagarup Zip & Climb runs all year round and you can choose from a day or night time zip. This Perth city zip line experience will not disappoint with incredible views from the bridge and an exhilarating ride back down to the banks of the Swan River promised.
