Is the activity safe?
There is an element of risk in all outdoor activities. You are 25
to 75 feet up in the trees. The risk is minimized and here is how:
During the briefing on the ground, you are taught how to manipulate
and handle equipment properly. You are taught and given the time
to practice with an experienced operator before going up into the
trees. You will be monitored by a qualified operator. You are provided
with two safety slings that you attach to a steel cable.
Can anyone do this activity?
Yes, as long as you can move easily and that you are ready for some
physical and balance challenges. If you can climb a ladder you should
have no problem.
Can we stop if we are to scared?
The activity is built in several different stages where you come
to the ground before moving on to the next one. You can decide to
finish after any of the courses. Note that there is no refund.
Can we accompany a friend/family member without doing the activity
and without paying ?
Yes, an open path follows the courses. You can be the videographer.
How should I dress?
- Dress as thought you were going on a hike. Wear flat soled shoes
and comfortable outdoor clothing;
- NO SANDALS;
- Remove jewellery and scarves that could get caught;
- Tie back your hair and tie on your glasses
-If you want to bring something like a camera or water, put it in
a backpack as you will need both hands free.
I'm coming with young children but I want to do the full Course.
Can I leave them alone on their course?
On the Kids Course, a parent needs to accompany the child. Often
families will split up with smaller ones being accompanied on the
children course and taller children on the full course. Both courses
start at the same spot and come back to the same spot. Those doing
the family course can do it a second time with the same ticket…finishing
about the same time as those doing the full course.
What is the best time to come and visit you?
The times that are less busy are between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. and
between 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Rain, unless very heavy, doesn't keep
you from doing the activity, as the course is protected by the foliage.
Do operators accompany us on the course?
No. When you arrive, we give you the equipment and then you attend
a briefing session and practice yourself on the ground (about 10
minutes). Then only you can go on the course. Operators follow the
participants along the courses on a path on the ground.
Is the Night Course harder?
No. The physical demand is the same, but the landmarks are not there
anymore and only the headlamps light up the forest and the installations.
The psychological challenge is greater!
