Treetop Challenge courses use two different safety systems depending on the site:

• Continuous Belay: You’re attached at the start and stay connected throughout.

The belay system used at your chosen location may affect age and supervision requirements, so always check the details before booking.

• Minimum Height: 1.4m

• Supervision:

  • Continuous Belay: One adult (18+) can supervise up to four under-13s on the course, or up to eight participants aged 13-15 on the course or from the ground.
