A Great Stop - Our guide as great. He stopped in the old growth forest for photos and explained our surroundings in detail. Beautiful views and the ride was so much fun. We wanted to get back on and do it again.

Thrills and stunning views - The Sky Wire was a fabulous experience. It was a fast and thrilling ride to start and slower speed in the middle to take in the view. The journey backwards to our starting point was just as much fun. Amazing views over beautiful forest canopy. We felt completely safe at all times and Cortez was a great guide. Highly recommend it for any age!

Great and good fun. - Great ride. Felt safe. It didn’t go as fast as I thought. So maybe a good intro for people who haven’t done this type of thing before. Lovely being up above the trees. Our guide was a lovely Scottish guy.
