Swinging through with Jason Momoa.

We had an amazing original canopy tour experience with 7 of us . It was seamless and well organised from beginning to end. Professional guides Lisa and Madson were a great team that put gentle humour into the experience and safety briefs. They put us middle aged woman at ease, and were great at remembering all our names. We loved learning about forest ecology and feeding the birds from our hands.

Amazing Day!

We had the best time on our zip lining adventure! Friendly staff, very accommodating, considerate of time and any group needs. Weather was questionable, raining but still great. Didn’t charge extra to borrow their jackets for weather. Good pictures! Had some fun with us! Love that you care about the Forrest

Great family bonding

What a wonderful time we had with this team. The tour was headed by Scoot and Phil. Boy do they compliment each other! They were truly accommodating too. I had a 7 year old and two in laws passed 65. From the very beginning they were humorous and yet detailed with the safety protocols. They were comforting and forthcoming explaining everything so that we know whats the next step. The information they shared shows the passion for the land and the soul in it. Its the aura they held that made everyone at ease. We had such a fun time zip lining again and again! My 7 year old truly enjoyed the whole session. Interestingly, even though i was worried for my in laws in case the trek would be too tiring .. but no… my in laws were having their own fun time screaming around during the ziplines. Overall, these guys know what they are doing and they are doing it mighty good!
