Filming Your Go Ape Adventure

Follow these expert tips to capture your unforgettable Go Ape adventure

• Pre and post adventure shots:

  There can be so many differences between the pictures at the start of your adventure and at the end. Of course, you may be a bit muckier when you finish, but you can also see the differences in people’s emotions and even posture.

  At the end of their experience people often stand taller, with broad smiles and a rosy flush from the fresh air! Believe us it can be a transformation.

• Take a photo with our Ape’s:

  Every Go Ape location has a unique Ape which, believe it or not, has been carved with a chainsaw! Why not go and say hello, learn their name and strike a memorable pose!

• Candid shots are best:

  While we all like to look good in photos, candid photos are often the truest (and funniest ones). This is certainly the case on a Go Ape adventure! Snap those pictures of muddy bums, messy zip landings and moments where you look like you’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards (obviously with permission). You’ll laugh later.

• Capture the thrill of zip wire landings:

  Believe us it’s well worth videoing or photographing your friend at the end of a zip line. Their expressions (and yells) are worth recording.

• Respecting the privacy and comfort of other adventurers:

  Before you start to film your adventures, it is important that you obtain consent from those who may appear in your footage.

• Remember to be present:

  While it's tempting to capture every moment of your adventure, remember to experience and appreciate it firsthand. Don't let your device distract you from the thrill and beauty surrounding you.

• Pass the Camera:

  If someone is accompanying you on the ground, why not pass the filming responsibilities to them? This ensures everyone gets involved and no special moments are missed.
