WHAT IS TREE ADVENTURE?

Hidden in the trees at the edge of Lean-achan Forest, Tree Adventure is a series of aerial obstacle courses designed to provide the ultimate forest adventure to thrill seek-ers of all ages and abilities. Swing through the trees, balance on the bridges, climb to new heights and swoop back to the ground with fun features and obstacles on each of the 4 courses. Tree Adventure is an excel-lent day out for the whole family!

“Our family of 5 with 3 boys ages 12, 9 and 8 had a great time on the course. It starts on the easy setting and works up to the big one in the woods. They are very safety conscious and are very thorough. My wife is scared of heights, and despite some

challenging moments, she was able to complete it. The treetop course feels like you are in a scene of Star Wars! Have fun!”
