Experience thrilling adventures across the UK in a whole new way this autumn with Go Ape's 2025 Sundown Adventures

With stunning colourful lights (just enough to see where you’re going) and the darkness creeping in beyond, you’ll experience a new level of excitement as you become a creature of the night.

Let your senses go wild in the darkness on Go Ape Sundown Adventures! Bundle up against the brisk autumn chill, breathe in the fresh earthy scent of the woodland and feel the cool rush of zip air.

Still want to know more? Read on to find out what a Sundown Adventure is like.

When can we visit?

 

Sundown Adventures will be available between Friday 17th October and Sunday 9th November. Climb, swing, and zip your way to the best adventure you’ll have this autumn season.

Sundown Adventures are location-dependent so please visit the main page and find the location you are planning to visit for site-specific details.

Our Sundown Adventures 

Each Sundown Adventures session begins with a safety brief from one of our instructors, and a chance to learn the ropes on a training site close to the ground and under their supervision.

Then, you’ll be let loose on the progressively difficult loops of the course, filled with challenging, free-swinging crossings and zips!

Where available, Sundown Adventures include our Treetop Adventure Plus courses. This is an extension to the Treetop Adventure course or in some places a standalone experience that really ramps up the thrill as you progress through the loops. Expect more height, more wobble on the colourfully lit crossings, and mega zip rides through the night.

What's it like?

By Ilona Cabral

A light drizzle falls on a crisp autumn evening. The sunset is vivid behind the tall pines and the Treetop Adventure lights have just been turned on. I’m ready to begin a spectacular evening swinging through the forest with Go Ape’s Sundown Treetop Adventure.

Around me the course is faintly aglow with colourful lights wound around tree trunks and a few floodlights on the ground lead me along the course. The sky darkens, the moon peaking out from behind the clouds. In short, the setting is utterly spooky and thrilling.

When we arrive at Go Ape, we are kitted and fitted with harnesses with attached glow sticks to add to the festive fun. Then, after a safety brief, we’re ready to go. The Treetop Adventure course is thrilling in the day-time, but the darkness and slightly wet weather adds an even more exciting element.

We’re securely attached to the safety system but can’t quite see the next step in front of us and need to feel with our feet for the next foothold. The best part of the course is undoubtedly the zip wire. With only a couple of floodlights to light the landing site it’s a stomach fizzing experience as we swoop through the dark forest and try to stick our landings (to varying degrees of success).

As we tackle each crossing, I can feel myself, and everyone around me, become more confident. Any uncertain children (or adults) are soon racing around the course for another turn. By the end of the hour, we are panting and rosy cheeked but eager to squeeze in one last loop beneath the starry sky.

Any Go Ape adventure is a treat but this Sundown Treetop Adventure Plus was an unforgettable evening. I would definitely recommend trying a Sundown activity near you. Just because the nights are getting longer doesn’t mean that the fun has to end earlier!
