You are standing 37metres above the ground surrounded by one of the largest webs of tangled rainforest on the planet. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Smell the smells. Use your ears, just stop and listen. You can all but feel nature touch you on the nose and say “this one’s for you”.

The Mamu Canopy Walkway near Innisfail gives you that opportunity to feel at one with nature, the rainforest, and its creatures. Located on the escarpment of the mighty North Johnstone River gorge, feel the exhilaration of being perched high amongst the rainforest canopy and looking down to the rushing river bend below.

These rainforest clad mountains have cultural significance to the Ma:Mu Aboriginal people and informative signs will help you understand the rich cultural history of the area.
