It was the most amazing experience for myself and my family, I struggled a bit with the heights but the rest of my throughly enjoyed it. We went for my daughters birthday (23 years old) and it was worth every penny that we paid. For me the best part was the zip wire. We would definitely go again and would also recommend it to all my friends.
Rated 5 Bananas Pippa 21 May 2012
Definitely course no. 5 was my kids favourite because of the big swing which they really enjoyed. They said they would have liked more climbing bits like climbing up to the next platform. They also said they would have liked it to be free so that they could go there every Saturday morning. Can't be bad.

Favorite bit - Scary swing towards the end. My only criticism would be queuing for some of the sites was a little boring. Would be nice if we didnt have to queue.
Rated 4 Bananas Ellen 21 May 2012
The whole tribe had a super time. The adventure is set up really well, starting out relatively easy when the safety instructors are still near by and building up towards the awesome tarzan finale. Personally, I could have done without all that bark at the end of the zip wires - I ended up with bark everywhere (which was a bit unpleasant at the pizza restaurant we went to straight afterwards). But that was really the only, small, drawback I could mention.

So much fun! Only thing I would say is that the course was too short (at Black Forest). But excellent customer service.
