Experience

From the moment you arrive at the Welcome Center, you will feel how welcome you are. From the smiling faces to the wheel chair access, the Malahat SkyWalk offers an adventure that is friendly and inclusive to all abilities. 

Visitors start by taking a leisurely and constant low gradient tree walk which is easy for strollers and wheelchairs to navigate. 

The tree walk is a beautiful boardwalk elevated about 20 meters (66 feet) from the forest floor. It takes you alongside giant Douglas Fir and fragrant Arbutus trees.

Visitors with a deeper appreciation to nature, can learn more about the animals, trees, birds and the coastal region by reading the many informative signs along the way. 

Always keep your eyes open for driftwood art pieces containing cougars, herons, bald eagles, informative signs and spectacular views of the  coastal Salish Sea.

And when you're done taking in all the spectacular vistas, you can glide down their epic 20-meter (66-foot) slide! To get to the Spiral Tower

From the base looking up

Arriving at the base and looking 10 stories up the spiral tower can be a bit intimidating. Due to its low gradient, the  full experience of the Malahat SkyWalk can be experienced by all, even those with mobility issues.
