I love an adventure and this one was so fun! So much screaming and giggling which as a fully grown adult what more could you ask for!?! I will definitely be back. I brought my friend as a gift to do the treetop challenge and we both really enjoyed ourselves. The instructor was really great. Helpful and kept his eye on us all without being overbearing in any way. The other staff were super friendly as well! The setting was wonderful in the forest and the equipment was high quality. It was nice to be left to your own device’s after going through the initial instruction course. Once everyone gets going you end up kind of spreading out as well so it’s not like we were waiting on other people to do each thing. In total there were 8 of us. I’m happy there is an option for adult sessions as neither of us really love to be around children(so sorry to offend) but it is just really nice to find a place that offers that. We immediately decide while on the course that we will be back. It would be worth the drive to try other locations as well!

Rowan was an amazing instructor — incredibly patient, calm, friendly, and encouraging throughout the whole experience. He explained everything clearly and made us feel safe and confident on the Segway, even at the beginning. The tour itself was such a fun adventure and a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you, Rowan!

We joined a segway session today in the Forest of Dean. Rowan was our leader. He was extremely patient and gave very clear instructions. I was a little nervous to begin with as I had not been on a segway before but I needn't have worried. Rowan spoke very clearly and calmly and after a few minutes in the training area, I was excited to get going! We absolutely loved our experience today. The three of us had such a fun time. Tired legs now but it was worth it!

Brilliant day out, I’ve done a few go apes at different locations now including: Wendover woods and Whinlatter Forest. Instructions I always find crystal clear, 5 sites to complete, some courses offer a slightly different route. Can be a bit time consuming depending on who is in front of you Overall I always love go ape, brilliant activity for the kids and family

I'd give it 4.5/5 stars, to be honest only because of one thing - all the excitement dissolved in almost an hour we spent waiting for others (10 people in one go, I came with my husband, there was one other couple and the rest was quite a disorganised group of teens and adults) and going through the training and instructions. The training itself is super clear and quick, for one person it takes maybe 7 min altogether, but waiting for everyone to finish it is very boring 😅 After that though - brilliant. I really enjoyed the tracks and challenges, they're not too difficult but required some brain and muscle power. Zip lines are super fun, Tarzan swings are thrilling, rope ladders are the hardest part 😝😝 The staff is friendly and they let you do your thing once they've observed you doing everything correctly for a couple of times, that felt very reassuring.
