Description

Trees Adventure is a new, exhilarating eco-adventure in the Dandenongs. It comprises five tree-top obstacle and flying fox courses that weave through the sublime canopy of Glen Harrow heritage gardens. Soar through the forest on an array of flying foxes and take on a series of thrilling challenges. Adventurers move between platforms between 2 and 12 metres in height, across a series of imaginative obstacles. There are easy courses for those scared of heights to ‘black runs’ for thrill seekers. Each participant will be fully equipped and trained. The obstacle course provides an opportunity to be daring but also requires participants to take responsibility in a controlled environment, which builds capability and ultimately self-confidence. IMPORTANT – Space in the trees is limited so booking a spot is really important. Make sure you book online or phone us before you make the drive! IMPORTANT – ALL Participants (including adults) need a waiver signed. Participants under-18 years need a waiver signed by their own parent. You can have forms signed by your parents in advance if you are coming with other relations or friends! PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO DOWNLOAD A WAIVER

Features

Soar through the trees, adventuring between platforms (2 -12 metres high!) by negotiating a series of mid-air challenges. Crawl through barrels, wobble on monkey bridges, jump on the aerial skateboard, test your balance on the Tarzan line, and enjoy the thrill of the flying fox! The challenges are exhilarating and will test your self-belief. The challenges range from easy to ‘are you insane?’ You get 2 hours on the challenges and the last departure into the trees starts at 2.15 (weekdays) and 2.45pm (weekends) but remember we close at 5pm so be sure to arrive early.
