The Experience

Before You Go

Know the weight and age limits

Operators enforce a 100–235 lb weight window and require a moderate fitness level—check booking questions for age and height requirements.

Secure cameras and loose items

Use a tethered action camera or lock your phone—loose items are lost on long zips and can be dangerous to others.

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Expect short tree-top walks and potentially muddy platforms; sneakers or light hiking shoes are best.

Arrive early and check weather

Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before your slot for briefing and harnessing; tours may cancel in high winds or storms.

Operators follow ACCT safety and maintenance standards and encourage Leave No Trace—stay on trails and avoid disturbing old-growth trees near platforms.
