Was fantastic fun. Instructors were very friendly and safety instructions beforehand was very thorough. Instructors were on hand if need be but just kept an eye on you from a distance. Every one involved all said they would all love to do it again and would highly recommend it. I had my 2 dogs with me and it was as easy for me to navigate the course and take photos and videos of my family. Well done everyone at Goape.

We were a group of 6 participants so larger than the 4 other couples in our group. We were asked to go at the back after all the couples which we were perfectly fine with as we could all stay together and didn’t have to rush so could take our time. Our instructor was Erica who was great at explaining everything in detail and looking after us. We had a great time, even though it rained all day so we were all cold, wet & muddy afterwards. We will definitely be coming back again!
