We tried the giant swing after reading about it in rough guides. For $20 its a steal and a blast doing it.

We arrived as party of 3 with 2 of us afraid of heights! We left like kings with our heads held high. Glen the instructor was amazing and knew just what to say and when. Good humour and patience in abundance but firm enough to get you to do things you never thought possible! Was I scared ? Yes. Would... More

I wasn't sure if this was something that I would be keen to do, however on the day I found that I was okay on most things. A great activity for all ages. I think the key is; don't think, just listen to the instruction. Kate our instructor was excellent, firm and didn't lose patience. I did say most things... More

Fantastic way to spend the afternoon! Great value for money. We were a mixed group including primary school aged children, teenagers and adults. We gave everything a go, encouraged by Glen and Martins good humour and sense of fun. Thanks guys!

I'm not great with heights or adrenalin pumping activities so I found this a challenge. I only did 3 of the climbs, nothing scary like the trapeze or the swing. If you're like me conquering the smaller climbs is very rewarding. I found Glen encouraging and helpful. Be aware: the rule is if you start the climb you have to... More

7 of us did this activity ranging in age from 10 to 58. Glen looked after us very well, we felt very safe and his encouragement I know helped me at least complete some of the climbs. This is a great group activity, whether families like us or groups of similar aged friends. The price and reward of this activity... More

Spent a couple of hours with the children and another family. The children chose various obstacles to climb and what an amazing experience for them. They did the giant swimg and loved it. All five children want to go back and do it again. The guide for the day was great and gave the kids lots of confidence. Will go... More

Our group of five were passing through and wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I had already done some activities years before and didnt want to do the same things. Im so glad we were able to do the half-day adventure. The guys were very friendly and had a great sense of humor. Most of all, very reassuring... More

This rock n ropes course is a high wire adventure course! If you aren't afraid of heights and your balance is pretty good, then you'll probably enjoy it. Some of the activities were far too high for my liking (and I wouldnt say that I'm scared of heights!) We were in a group and we had to trust the other... More
