The Experience
Before You Go
Respect the weight limit
Max rider weight is 120 kg (250 lb); ask staff about tandem options or restrictions before booking.
Bring a small camera or chest mount
Platforms offer uninterrupted views—use a secure mount or quick-access case to capture runs without fumbling harness clips.
Closed-toe shoes only
You’ll walk between platforms and landings on uneven steps and dirt; sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes are best.
Hydrate and time your meal
Drink water before the tour and avoid heavy alcohol before harnessing—the open bar is available after the course and lunch.
