This was a really fun ropes course. It has 3 levels, and a million different directions to choose from that all lead to suspended obstacle courses that range from mild to challenging.
The price ($49) is AMAZING considering that it covers 4 whole hours! I was worried because we were caught up in some errands and would only have about 2 and a half hours to explore the Epic Sky Trek, but 2.5 hours was more than plenty. We were also one of the only ones on the course because we went on a Monday, but I can see how busy this would be on a weekend.
The guides were helpful in explaining how to put on the harnesses and how to clip in and out of the different courses. Other than that, they let us do our own thing while they "supervised" us from their hammock below.
However, I am only giving 4 stars because:
1) Clipping in and out of every single course was a bit of a hassle, especially because I am shorter than average, each key I clipped into/out of were slightly out of reach for me. Call me lazy, but I believe clipping in and out of each rope took about a third of the time we were there. I am a big fan of the Sky Trail ropes courses where a rail system connects all courses and no clips are involved, so going from one level or course to another is a breeze.
2) I didn't quite make it across one of the harder courses and had to pull myself across. As I reached the wooden platform on the other side, my legs slightly scraped on the wood and received multiple splinters. Luckily the leggings I wore were pretty thick and the splinters didn't penetrate all the way, but I still spent a good 15 minutes trying to get those poking splinters all out. They should sand down their platforms a bit more because I assume this would be a frequent occurrence, especially with younger climbers. I also nearly got splinters on the wooden planks that had rock-climbing elements on them.
3) There was a group of women that were not climbing the courses, but were still let up to the top level of the sky trek to watch their friends zip line across. They also brought up beers. Not quite sure if access to the top balcony of the ropes course is included in the zip line packages, but I thought that if you did not sign a waiver, you were considered trespassing. I got a sense that there were some special treatments given.
Despite all this, I still recommend checking this place out as long as you're tall enough to reach the clips, are careful of the wooden planks, and don't mind a bunch of half-drunk women judging your climbing abilities. read more
