The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Opt for sneakers or hiking shoes with good grip to safely navigate ladders, bridges, and zip lines.

Arrive early to allow time for check-in and safety briefing

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start to complete gear fitting and orientation.

Hydrate before and during your adventure

Climbing and ziplining require steady hydration—bring a reusable water bottle to stay energized.

Dress in layers suitable for movement

Light, breathable clothing with layers is best to adapt to changing temperatures in the forest canopy.
