Popular Western Australian destination the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk recorded its highest visitation in two decades during 2024-25, welcoming 171,809 visitors.
This represents a 9.2 per cent increase in visitors compared to the previous financial year and a 33.6 per cent increase compared to 2014-15.
The increased popularity of the attraction follows recent national and international exposure on television series including Bill Bailey’s Wild Western Australia and Channel 9’s The Lap.
Tree Top Walk Manager Peter Worthington said with the 30th anniversary of the Tree Top Walk opening coming up in 2026, the attraction’s popularity is only expected to increase.
“Our local team works really hard to deliver a unique and memorable experience to visitors to the Valley of the Giants, and there’s plenty to do and see even if you’re not a fan of heights,” Mr Worthington said.
“As well as the 600-metre-long Tree Top Walk, which is wheelchair and pram-accessible, visitors can also explore the forest floor on the Ancient Empire loop walk, join a free guided tour or forest walk, and visit the discovery centre and gift shop.
“The ‘adventure doors’ installation introduced in 2024 has also helped attract a broader range of visitors to the Valley of the Giants, with creative doorway features positioned through the Ancient Empire, which have been particularly popular with younger visitors.”
Located between Denmark and Walpole in Walpole-Nornalup National Park, the Valley of the Giants is not just for those seeking the thrill of experiencing the 40-metre-high walk through the canopy of the majestic red tingle and karri trees.
The State Government has invested $475,000 in developing the Ancient Empire trail since 2023, with a 540m loop walk now fully accessible to people in wheelchairs and with prams. A further $275,000 has been allocated this financial year for new seating and trail-side infrastructure, and upgrades to older timber sections of the Ancient Empire trail.
