Malahat SkyWalk will immerse visitors in nature along a 600 metre-long elevated walkway through an Arbutus and Douglas Fir forest, leading to a 10-storey, architecturally-inspiring spiral tower lookout – the first of its kind in BC.
Rising 250 metres above sea level, guests will enjoy 360-degree views of two countries, including Finlayson Arm, Saanich Inlet, Saanich Peninsula, Gulf Islands, San Juan Islands, Mt. Baker and the Coast Mountain range.
An adventure net suspended partially across the centre of the Spiral Tower provides daring guests with another breathtaking perspective on the spiralling structure below before returning to ground level with an option to take an exhilarating ride down a 20 metre spiral slide.
Guests will find a deeper connection to nature learning about the trees, birds, animals and marine life of this coastal region unique to BC. Malahat SkyWalk is located on the traditional territory of the Malahat Nation and their Indigenous stories will also be embedded throughout the experience.
