What to expect
We climb as a group on multiple trees, between 100 and 200 feet high on a mix of rare old-growth trees and 2nd growth trees. Depending on the group and the climbers' ability, you will ascend one to 4 trees. Climbing 20 stories up in Coastal Douglas Fir Trees offers a shocking perspective and views few have ever seen. Spectacular views of mountains, wildlife, and ocean await you at the tope of the canopy.
No experience necessary must be 8 years or older.
Learn how to climb up really big trees with ascenders until you reach the branches. Then you can branch climb to the top of the canopy! The ascender technique is similar to doing a squats.
Wear athletic clothes, long pants that cover ankles, and athletic shoes. It is a good idea to also wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty or damaged. All other equipment will be provided. The tree canopy climbing experience is a progression. You will start first by receiving all of your equipment, followed by safety talks, learning about the equipment, learning how to use the equipment, and then you will start climbing! We keep it simple and easy to make sure you are having fun, learning and especially staying safe.

The tree climbing adventure was a lot of fun. I expected to have more fear of heights, but our guide Rilen went above and beyond to make it a pleasant experience. He was attentive, encouraging, and conscientious as well as entertaining with his delightful conversation and Spider Man maneuvers! I booked this trip with my teenage son for my special birthday/mom-son bonding experience and it was perfect! We both had a great time and it made for a unique memory together. The forest and water views were calming and beautiful. We went at 1:00 on a Sunday in May and were the only guests. I had been worried about slowing the group down so it was perfect. The climbing requires some lower back and hamstring strength so was a workout for me but Rilen was patient and encouraging and I never felt rushed. I’d highly recommend this adventure!
