      Challenging & great fun.
      My 3 teenage boys went and thoroughly enjoyed the challenges. They especially loved the zip lines. The staff were friendly and informative. It was a beautiful day and great physical activity. They requested to go here rather than the theme parks, plus it was cheaper for tickets and a more natural back to nature experience pushing themselves, creating self confidence and conquered any fears they may have had in the beginning of the course.

      Amazing experience!
      What a great day, the views were amazing and the courses challenging and fun. I want to give THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT to one staff member, Eli for his exceptional service throughout the afternoon! He encouraged and assisted everyone in a professional and friendly manner. In particular, the way he communicated, nurtured and engaged with my 9yr old neurodiverse son throughout the course was truly incredible! Without his assistance I highly doubt he would have ended up having a positive experience, let alone made it through the courses. What a wonderful young man, thank you Eli!

      Great experience and amazing staff
      My 12 yr old daughter and I attended the Treetops Challenge and we had a great time. It was fun, challenging, physically and mentally demanding at times which was exactly what we were after. Although it was a super hot and busy day (Australia Day long weekend) the Treetops Challenge staff were all so friendly and unfazed. There was a large group booking of around 70 people in the challenge at the same time as us that had limited, to no English which was quite challenging for the Treetops team but they were able to manage some difficult situations with friendliness, ease and professionalism. Due to the heat there were numerous participants that needed assistance and water but all I heard from the staff was support for each other and the participants, they were encouraging each and telling other team members how much they appreciated their work. It was so great to overhear and set up a really positive vibe. We had a great day and the team of staff made the experience more enjoyable.

      A great family day out.
      My 2 boys, 12 & 10, had a fabulous time. As a parent we were able to follow them the whole way and join in their successes and excitement. Both boys had such a great time and were exhausted by the end. The guides along the way were helpful and so friendly, they were happy to chat and encourage the kids to keep going and how to complete tasks that were a bit challenging. A really fun and great value for money experience.

      A lot of waiting time
      To many unskilled people on higher level courses and then they holding up every one. Tree top need to chance there grading system to go on intermediate and advance level routes. Very unhappy costumer.

      Please read if you have kids under 12. I hope TreeTops make improvements.
      I took my family to TreeTops Sunshine Coast yesterday. My 11yo and 9yo have ziplined around the world before and were excited to zipline here. Unfortunately we had a very negative experience yesterday and I hope this feedback below helps so them so TreeTops can improve it for others in the future. 1) Our expectations from the marketing and ads had us believe there was more ziplining than balance challenges. It's quite the opposite. The courses are mostly beams and ropes challenges. 2) The set up for younger children is quite overwhelming and while I agree it's important they learn it's more important they feel empowered. Their staff yelled at so many children for not doing it right. They barked at them and made them feel stupid. In the hour of my group initiation we witnessed three young girls ahead of us (they looked like they were 8-10 yrs) get stuck on the practice zipline as they were too light to make it to the end. Their instructor yelled at them like they did something wrong. Each time, members of the public, myself included had to go help these girls who were visibly shaken, scared and confused. Put an instructor at the end of the zipline to help catch these kids. They are light weight. They can't make it across and after this "practice" zipline they walk away crying to their parents that they don't want to even go into the main circuits. TreeTops did not set these curious young minds up for success. They made them feel awful about themselves and inadequate. 3) So much time is spent on showing us how to use the equipment and how to hold the zipline. Ironically, ZERO time is spent on the thing that consumers 80% of the challenge - balancing across high beams and ropes. Not once were kids given any insights about how to manage the course when their hands can't reach to the steel rope above. These kids are thrown in without warning and huge pressure as the line builds behind them. Adding a practice course for anyone who is new to this type of thing would go a long way to increase the success rate of people completing the course. Half the people in our line completed 1-2 parts of the circuit before needing to turn back. We have ziplined across mountains that were up far higher than these ziplines and yet no one in my family completed the course because it felt unsafe, chaotic, the kids felt belittled. The first hurdle to any physical challenge is mental preparation. No one in my family felt mentally at ease. I sincerely hope they revisit their training, the systems in place, the staffing on platforms for young kids doing the zipline and the overall attitude of the staff. In our experience we have walked away from previous experiences elated, proud, and inspired to challenge ourselves even more. Yesterday we walked away deflated. We saw countless families consoling their children in the parking area and many parents agreed it was the complete opposite of what they had hoped the day would be.

      Amazing experience for all ages!
      What a fantastic activity! The 4WD buggy ride up the mountain got us pumped for the adventure, the ziplines are long and high above the treetops and canyon, the forest views are amazing, the staff Sam and Nicky were professional but also funny, they kept the whole group entertained throughout the tour and 3 hours just flew by, we wished the tour lasted longer. My husband and I will definitely be back!

      Amazing Experience
      The canyon flyer was such a great experience. Our tour guides Angus and Ryan made the challenge so much more fun and engaging with their silly banta. Because of them, we will definitely be coming back again soon!

      Had the best guides in Sam and Tali!
      Get ready to enjoy a fantastic experience, that you just want to keep going! From the start we knew we were going to have a great time with our guides Sam and Tali. These two were excellent fun, with great energy and looked after us all very well. The buggy ride to the top was an added bonus - heaps of fun and then the ziplining itself was awesome. The views another added bonus. Thanks Tali and Sam for making a great experience a fantastic one!!

    Such a great course. Was lots of fun. Look forward to doing it again. Only downside was the hardness and helmets stunk and were damp! Hope they get cleaned properly in-between each user but they smelt like sweat!

    I’ve been in Aus for about 5 weeks now, and this Tree Top Challenge was without doubt the absolute HIGHLIGHT! I was nervous not only because I’m scared of heights but I was also doing this activity on my own, but both the guides Tyler and Gaby were AMAZING!! I was made to feel comfortable and safe from the very beginning, and I honestly had so much fun. It was so lovely getting to know the other people I was zipping through the trees with, and not a moment passed without laughter. I was encouraged to challenge myself and push myself to the limits, and I seriously don’t think I could have done it without the smiley faces of Tyler, Gaby, and all the awesome zippers on the tour!! Thank you so much.

    Lawson and Georgie were the most incredible, funny and supportive guides! They created an incredible space to take in the view, pick up some epic speed and try out some tricks on the way! Not once did I even think about how high up we were they were absolutely phenomenal and should be praised as such!!! What a team! Also make sure to ask Lawson about his love of eagles!!

    Fabulous day with the family. Spent 4 hours climbing all the levels and still didn't cover them all. We went in school holidays so it was busy but only a few times did we have to wait more than 5 mins. The scenery is gorgeous so it was okay. Staff were friendly and helpful. I'm terrified of heights but took on the challenge. Definitely go back again. Highly recommended.

    Fabulous fun with 2 very supportive guides Lawson & Dillon taking us thru the zip line course. We felt very safe and appreciated their jokes & very professional assistance. The 4 wheel drive up to the first line was nearly as much fun as the zip lines.
