Had an amazing experience at Go Ape! The course was great fun and really well organised, but a special thank you to Sam. He explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable and confident, and honestly I wouldn’t have even been able to get started without his help and encouragement😊

There is a serious hazard that could put cyclists' lives at risk. As shown in the attached image, a fallen tree is obstructing the cycle path. The situation is particularly dangerous because it is located on a downhill section, meaning that cyclists may not be able to stop in time, even if they apply their brakes immediately. I would greatly appreciate it if the tree could be removed as soon as possible to help ensure the safety of all path users.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Go Ape Rivington in Bolton! From start to finish, everything was handled brilliantly. A special thank you to Ellie, our guide, who was outstanding friendly, reassuring, and incredibly professional. Myself and Alfie were given a thorough safety briefing at the beginning, which really put us at ease. Throughout the course, all the staff were attentive and supportive, especially on the zip lines. As someone with two full prosthetic hip replacements in the last three years, I genuinely appreciated the extra care and encouragement it made a huge difference and allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. I honestly can’t thank the team enough. We’ll definitely be back… one day for sure! 👌🫶🏻 🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited here on sunday. Luke was our instructor, he was friendly and offered plenty of support and encouragement. All the staff we saw were really friendly and great. The site itself was fab. Me and my 10year old daughter had a great afternoon. So much fun! Thank you! We are already planning our next adventure!!!

Brilliant couple of hours in the trees! 🌳 Adam and Ashan looked after a large group of us, very thorough safety briefing and then left to your own devices. Good fun, would come again.
