Perth’s Matagarup Bridge is the centerpiece for an iconic new adventure tourism attraction - the Matagarup Bridge Zip+Climb, which opened in January 2021. Guests can climb the 314 steps to reach the bridge’s 72-metre-high Sky View platform – offering stunning 360-degree views over the city, Swan River and Optus Stadium.
Adventure seekers will be able to zip-line from the launch platform of the bridge, 400 metres across the Swan River to a landing platform in Burswood Park. Completed in 2018, the Matagarup Bridge provides pedestrian access over the Swan River, from East Perth to the Optus Stadium precinct. Zip+Climb is a family adventure precinct on the Burswood Peninsula – located on and around the Matagarup Bridge.
The waters in this area are now easier to cross by foot on the iconic Matagarup Bridge. The bridge was not originally built for people to climb. Take a 314-step trek up the bridge’s main arch, ascending 72 metres to the ‘skyview’ platform. The average gradient of the climb is 45 degrees and to reach the top, you will be required to climb, crawl, shimmy and squeeze through some very tight spaces. You will be accessing the bridge by the same route used for technical access. 
Perth’s Optus Stadium has also recently welcomed the opening of an exciting new tour experience – the HALO Rooftop Climb. Guests can climb the 78 steps up to the roof of the stadium on a guided tour and experience the stunning city views, take in a bird’s-eye view of the field of play, and sit in seats 42 metres above the ground.
Visitors can now also experience the Swan River from a fun and unique perspective thanks to the introduction of two new water biking tours.
Perth Waterbike Adventures, departing from Matilda Bay, and Perth Waterbike Co, departing from South Perth, allow guests to safely pedal and glide across the Swan River, with a range of different tours on offer. Also complementing the new Swan River offerings is GoGo Active Tours’ new kayaking tours, which paddle along the Swan River and Canning River wetlands.
Waterbiking is now also available in the coastal city of Mandurah. Visitors can cruise along the iconic canals and waterways, spotting resident bottlenose dolphins and a variety of birdlife, thanks to Mandurah Cruises’ latest new tour offering – Mandurah Waterbikes.
