      Take the bait- it's worth it! :)
      We had a blast with our guide! I'm terrible with names, but I believe it was Brandon. He was a great instructor: informative, easy to understand, patient, and very calm. My group size was about 6. This still gave my new wife and me ample "space" to have a special experience while also feeling the comradery and joy of being with others. The intimacy with the old growth trees and special views from that angle were so memorable. But also...we just really enjoyed the conversation with the guide. It was great to have a few hours with a local to the islands who made us feel genuinely welcome.

      This was such a unique experience! Brandon made it fun, and we felt safe but also challenged. This was a great adventure!

      Family Bonding at 150 feet
      Leo our guide was great and interesting and funny. Made us all feel safe and capable. New appreciation for some forest facts we didn’t know. Very bonding experience for family to be all swaying gently together at the top of the tree. Highly recommend!

      Excellent way to spend the morning on Lopez Island!
      Awesome experience! Challenging enough to make it interesting, but still very accessible for novice climbers. and of course on a clear day the views are spectacular. Brandon was great. His instructions were clear and he was very laid-back while still being safety conscious.

      Amazing trees! Amazing guide!
      Brandon was just awesome! His passion for tree climbing was contagious. After a mixup with our booking, he stayed late to accommodate us and did so cheerfully! He displayed so much patience and used multiple strategies to make sure we both were able to get up in the tree. Plus the trees were gorgeous. I would recommend this to anyone.

      Great with high school students!
      Leo and everyone at the AdvenureTerra have been great partners with us on school trip for our high schools groups. They know how to encourage kids without pushing them too much. Thanks again and we look forward to working with you again!

      Wow!
      Awesome! Brandon was great. Took my two daughters, 14 and 13. Climbed a couple of trees over 100 feet high. Felt like a kid scrambling up the trees. Worth every penny.

      Awesome experience! I visited the island with a group of friends for a weekend. Alex was the best guide/instructor. Would 100% do this again.

      Once In a Lifetime Experience
      This was such an amazing experience. There was a thrill and excitement to it but also once you start climbing branches you feel like a kid conquering the world again. The view from the top is stunning. I always felt safe and secure with the equipment and our guide Alex. He's the perfect person to turn this scared-of-height girl into a tree-climbing fool. Thank you for sharing this experience with those who couldn't even imagine in their wildest dreams they'd be able to climb hundreds of feet up a beautiful old-growth tree. Doug was high-maintenance but he was my favorite.

      Great fun!
      We bought this adventure for our two grandkids, 18, 19 years old and they loved it. They said they learned a lot, that Leo was a great teacher and a really nice person. They are stoked to try the rock climbing class next!

      This was such a fun experience! I was able to jump in with a group and had a wonderful time. The guide Leo was very knowledgeable and encouraging, putting everyone at ease with his skill and kindness. I would definitely do it again! Don’t miss this great adventure!

      Don't miss tree climbing on Lopez Island
      My friend (7mo pregnant) and I (wildly out of shape) had an amazing time with Alex tree climbing on Lopez Island. Alex got everyone set up to be safe and made sure we all got to climb as far as we were comfortable. For some folks that was 40ft and for some folks that was nearly 200ft! It was really a great time, the views from up high were spectacular, and climbing trees like you're a kid again is just fun! Don't miss this one!

      Great fun, great guide, and great views
      Leo was a great guide! He was very engaging and gave everyone in the small group a lot of personalized attention. I really enjoyed learning a new skill, and the views were great! We also got the photography add-on, and the photos turned out amazing!

    Had a great time! Leo my instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly. He definitely went above and beyond to make it a great experience. I’m bringing my girlfriend in a couple of weeks for her introduction lesson. If you are looking to get into the sport AdventureTerra and Leo will take great care of you!

    Our teenage daughters did a rock climbing beginner tour. Everything was just gorgeous. The day before the guide contacted us for the exact meeting point. This was extremely helpful. When we arrived, we had a short hike uphill to reach the climbing area. Everything was already set up. The guide Zac was extremely encouraging, very patient and extremely positive. The girls felt very safe and very accepted. They climbed different routes and Zac made sure, that they had a super positive experience. Great tour and great guide!

    Clay helped me tremendously to learn the basics of outdoor sport and trad climbing. As a middle aged climber I found it more useful to take a series of private lessons so I could progress at my own pace. Clay was always calm and patient with me, even if it meant demonstrating things many times until I got it. He's easy to work with providing the right balance of encouragement and pushing you to your best ability. I found Mt Erie an excellent spot to train on a variety of technical grades. Based on my experience, this is an excellent company for anyone interested in trying or improving their skill in rock climbing.

    It was great working with you, and we wish you all the best in your climbing endeavors! Come back anytime. Maybe give tree climbing a try! We got 100-300 ft tall trees for you to climb.

    Our family had an amazing time! The instructors were fantastic and very patient with us considering we had no idea what we were doing. Our seven year daughter is hooked and can't wait to do it again. Thanks for a great day!

    Can't say enough good things about Leo with Adventure Terra!
    Talk about instilling confidence and trust in the climber and the climbers Mom!
    I was very impressed with the calm and empowering personality Leo taught with. I really appreciated how Leo went through every aspect of Climbing. Taking care of gear, rope, safety checks for each other. Leo even "forgot" to secure his caribeaner and my son caught it on the safety check. Leo also taught my son how to secure himself to a tree and my son belayed Leo!! Leo "fell" on purpose so my son could feel it and grow in confidence with the gear. This was a very through lesson that made me feel very confident in my son Climbing.
    My son is 10years old and had a blast! Thank you Leo and Adventure Terra!

    Thanks for the stellar review, I really appreciate your feedback. I am very happy that you and your son had such a positive experience and that your son has gained the confidence to hopefully continue to enjoy the wonderful world of climbing in the future!

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
