Overview
Highlights
The Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk gives you a bird's eye view of some of the tallest timber giants on Earth - Western Australia's majestic tingle trees. Climbing 40 metres into the forest canopy and meandering through the treetops for 600 metres, the walk trail is the first of its kind, designed to maximise views and minimise impact.
This peaceful and exhilarating experience can be encountered 15 minutes east of Walpole, on Western Australia's south coast. Only 1 hours drive from Albany and 4.5 hours drive from Perth, the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk also features on many extended coach tour itineraries. The Tree Top Walk sits within the Walpole-Nornalup National Park and Walpole Wilderness Area, offering spectacular views over densely forested hills.
Descending to the boardwalks below to explore the Ancient Empire Walk, you'll enter a grove of towering veteran tingle trees. These giant eucalypts are found nowhere else on Earth and some have been standing for more than 400 years. Be sure to add this multi-award winning attraction to your Aussie Bucket List and take a moment to sit and reflect on the special nature of the tingle forest.
