Was very impressed at how accessible the skywalk was. It is a very gradual incline that is easy to push a stroller, or wheelchair up. The slow incline makes it so anyone can enjoy this attraction and take in the incredible views of the inlet and Brentwood area. The cost may seem high, but its worth every penny once you get to the top! There is a slide down the middle of the look out that is fun for kids and adults, and you can go up and ride it as much as you'd like. Once you're done, they have a small food stop with good food, for very reasonable prices. Burgers, pizza, coffee, alcohol, and all kinds of snacks! Highly recommend!

One of the island’s newest attractions! The Malahat Skywalk is a fantastic attraction for both locals and visitors. The views are absolutely stunning and it’s a wonderful way for people of all ages to enjoy and experience Vancouver Island’s natural beauty. The viewing platforms are truly breath-taking, especially at the top. You don’t realize just how magical it is until you’re up there. The whole site is thoughtfully designed, encouraging play, exploration, and learning from the moment you arrive whether it’s admiring the driftwood sculptures, getting a treat at the Happy Camper, walking on the adventure net, taking the spiral slide down or just revelling in the amazing architecture and planning that has gone into making this attraction a reality. There is an outdoor fire-pit, food service before the walk and at the tower and clean bathrooms available. The annual membership is well worth it, especially with the bonus discounts to on-site food, souvenirs and other local attractions. Pro tip 1: Before you leave, make sure to take advantage of Luke’s Lane! The walk offers a great taste of what it’s like to be in a rainforest, and the interpretive elements along the way make the experience both informative and enjoyable. Pro tip 2: If you don’t have children and you prefer a quieter and less “lively” visit, I recommend going earlier in the morning, as afternoons can be lively with families heading for the slide and adventure net. Pro-tip 3: For a full day with visitors, start the morning at the Malahat and then take the Mill Bay ferry across to Brentwood Bay to experience the amazing Butchart Gardens. You have to drive to Mill Bay to get back to Victoria anyways, so consider saving time driving back and around and substitute it with a scenic ferry ride across! Overall, the Malahat Skywalk is an incredible experience and a must-see on the island. Plan to spend 1-2 hours there.

This skywalk is amazing. The ticket prices are $52 in person for each adult. But online prices are cheaper than that, so go for online booking. Entry is free for kids under 6 years of age. The walk till the actual spot is also amazing, and they have cafes with tasty food and beverage options. The prices are also very reasonable. There is also a gift shop available but the prices in the gift shop is very expensive. Once you go on top of the sky walk, you can come down from an amazing slide, which is very good. The view from the top is mesmerising and there is a large net to walk on as well at the top, which looks scary in the beginning but it’s very safe and you will surely enjoy it. Worth every dollar.
