The Thrill

Securely fastened in one of four racing car seats in the Skywire chair, your ride takes you both forwards and BACKWARDS for nearly ten minutes of thrilling adventure. The first 800m freewheeling drop can reach 100kph yet many say the fast backwards run is the most unforgettable moment. Universally appealing to all this unique concept attracts those who want a thrilling ride yet also feel secure in the highest standard of equipment safety.

Combo option

A ride on the Skywire can easily be combined with any of our famous quad bike tours for a great half-day of adventure!
