Treetop Adventure course will keep you challenged, present and living in the moment. So much more than just ziplines; it’s a 2-3-hour aerial journey through the forest canopy. Engage every sense in a fully immersive and visually stunning forest setting.
- Your adventure starts with a safety brief where we get you fitted into a harness and our instructors will help you learn the ropes.
- Each site starts with a rope ladder or stairs up into the trees. Connect up and get climbing!
- You’ll navigate wobbly bridges, traverse tricky crossings and, if you dare, conquer our unique free drop Tarzan swings*.
- Ride our epic ziplines back down to the forest floor. Repeat.
