    Awesome! Instructor was amazing. Instructions clear. Helped when needed. Very professional and sincere when it came to my daughter.

    Not the kind of climbing you’d expect but still very fun!

    In my mind, I thought “tree climbing” would be more like physically climbing on the tree itself….this was not quite that, but still just as fun! If you are familiar with rock climbing, this is more like “ascending” up the tree on the rope itself. Though not what I was expecting, I had a great time and learned a new skill! It’s challenging enough to get your heart rate up, but the views, guides, and overall vibes are unbeatable. Would recommend doing with family or even as a work event.

    Thanks so much for sharing this perspective! Yes these trees are so huge that they often do not have branches for the first 150ft, so we have to rope climb before we can get into the branches. That’s a great way to describe it—more like ascending into the canopy than climbing on the tree itself, until you get into the branches. Glad you still had a great time and enjoyed the views and vibes up there. Hope to climb with you again sometime! 🌲

    Wonderful experience.

    I was excited to learn and do the climb. The staff (Tim) was very knowledgable, informative, helpful and very patient! The climb was physically challenging. I did not do as well as I hoped. It probably would have been better if I wore long pants and at least crew socks. I got to about 160 feet. What a view! I would definitely do it again. Now that I have a better understanding, I hope to get to the top. Thank you for the experience and opportunity.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the climb, and Tim's knowledge and patience made a positive impact on your adventure. 😊 It’s still amazing that you made it to 160 feet, you should be proud!—what an accomplishment! Glad you enjoyed the view ! 🌳 Now that you’ve got some great insight (and a note about long pants and socks!), we know you’ll reach the top next time. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another go! Thank you for your kind words, and we’re excited for your next adventure with us! 🌟 Btw we have different trees, so next time you can climb a different tree, and another unique view. If you decided to have just a chill adventure, the battery ascenders are always there for you!

    Memorable unique experience!

    Love that it’s for the whole family and how patient the instructors are. Great experience overall even for beginners.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Its pretty amazing how many family members we can get climbing the safe tree at the same time. These trees are huge. We have gotten whole family reunions of 18 people up these giant old-growth trees before! Glad like it all, come back again, we have lots of different experiences!
