Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award Winner
In 2024 Go Ape Sherwood was awarded the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award. Here's a recent review:
"We visited Go Ape for my 30th Birthday and it was super! Our instructor Honey was so lovely, enthusiastic and supportive. We did the Challenge Plus as we have done other courses in the past but always opted for the easier routes. It was great to try all the new types of crossings. The Tarzan Swing is my favourite as you really just have to take a leap of faith. Thank you to the team!"
