With two lines, you can take on the experience with a friend by your side, flying 9 metres above the ground at speeds of up to 40km per hour. Firefly Zipline Melbourne is Melbourne’s first zipline experience in the central city and the first in Australia that takes you over a major river. Limited tickets are available.
