From swinging into cargo nets to balancing on ropes high above the forest floor, every Go Ape Treetop Challenge is packed with adrenaline-pumping obstacles. Some test your strength, others your nerve – and all of them deliver that unbeatable Go Ape buzz.
If you’ve tackled a Treetop Challenge before, you’ll know that no two courses are ever quite the same. Some are designed to push your limits, others to make you laugh, and all to make you feel like a true forest adventurer.
After chatting with our tribe and checking out customer feedback, we’ve picked out five of the most-loved obstacles that keep people coming back for more.
We do bridges a little differently at Go Ape. Ours sway, shake and wobble in ways that make even the most confident adventurers focus hard on their footing. Some crossings have ropes to help guide you, while others demand a daring “no hands” approach. These obstacles test your concentration, balance and composure — and they make for some brilliant mid-air photos too.
Balance is everything on our high ropes tightropes. Step onto a narrow wire high in the trees, steady yourself and keep your eyes fixed on the platform ahead — not the forest floor below. The key? Stay calm, ignore your friends trying to make you laugh, and glide across like a pro. Easy, right?
Ask any Go Ape instructor and they’ll tell you — the stirrups are a real test of grit and coordination. You’ll be stretching, swinging and laughing your way through as you slot each foot into a tiny loop and reach for the next rope. They’re tricky, they’re wobbly, and they make for some classic action shots (and the occasional unintentional starfish pose).
Nothing says “Go Ape” quite like a Tarzan Swing. Standing on the edge of the platform, you’ll feel that rush of adrenaline before you leap and soar into a giant cargo net. Let out your loudest jungle yell — it’s practically a requirement! It’s one of our biggest thrills and the perfect challenge for anyone ready to take that leap of faith. You’ll be buzzing all the way to the next platform.
The grand finale on every Treetop Challenge. Whether you see it as a reward or one last adrenaline hit, our zip wires never disappoint. Step off the platform, take in the forest views as you zip through the air, and finish your adventure with a well-earned (and often muddy) landing. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your high-flying experience.
Find your nearest Go Ape location, book your Treetop Challenge, and see how you measure up against our most iconic obstacles. Who knows — you might just find a new favourite of your own.
