Treetop Advent
ure is an adrenaline-filled, hour-long high ropes activity aimed primarily at children and families. It has intricate tree-to-tree crossings, wobbly bridges and brilliant zip wires for kids, all designed for adventurers over 1m tall. The continuous belay system means that participants are always attached to the safety wires. Children under 6 need to be supervised by an adult up on our high ropes course (1 adult can supervise up to 2 under 6s). For children over 6, parents can decide to supervise/cheer from the course, or the forest floor (1 adult can supervise up to eight 16-15 year olds).
Treetop Adventure Plus
is all about the ‘more’. More speed, air, freedom, height, and thrills, aimed more at older families and adult adventurer seekers. It’s a significant step up and extension to our popular Treetop Adventure high ropes course, so participants need to be at least 1.2m tall, and 6 years old to participate. Participants will have full access to the Adventure loops of the course to find their feet, hone their skills and have fun. When they feel ready, it’s time to hit the heights of Adventure Plus and the additional loop. The extra loop goes much higher into the treetops, with more challenging crossings, including 3 tree-to-tree zips. This turns up the adventure and the fun, finishing with their biggest zip-wire ride of the day back to the ground.
Cruise and explore the forest floor. Jump on board one of our all-terrain Forest Segways for an hour-long totally unique adventure.
