About Go Ape Haldon
Against the backdrop of the stunning Dartmoor, Haldon Forest Park is as far south as Go Ape ventures. The Treetop Challenge and Treetop Adventure courses can be found nestled in 3,500 acres of woodland just 15 minutes from Exeter and with Dartmoor as a backdrop for breathtaking scenery.
So, if you're looking for an adventure for thrill seekers and can tackle three challenges like these, then this is perfect for you!
Returning this autumn - Sundown Adventures!
Back by popular demand. Experience tree top thrills in a whole new light across 25 locations for a limited time between 17th October and 9th November. Go Ape Sundown Adventures offer a new level of forest fun in the dark. Become a creature of the night as you climb through the canopy on a high ropes course lit with colourful lights. Test your skills on tree top crossings and experience the thrill of a zip wire ride into the darkness. It's a unique opportunity to enjoy the forest's beauty and experience the adrenaline rush of adventure after dark. The experience takes one to two hours, and the Go Ape team are around to help throughout. It starts with a safety briefing and harness fitting. For ages 6 and up (minimum height 1.2 metres) this is an adventure that will delight kids and adults alike.
Fun Activities for Thrill Seekers
Families with younger kids can put their courage to the test on the Treetop Adventure course. Lasting just one hour, the course is designed for anyone over 1m tall. Children will tackle a variety of tree-high crossings before buckling on for the brilliant zip-wire finale! Perfect for those looking for a thrilling day out and zipline fanatics.
Looking for a challenge? Spend 2-3 hours stepping out of your comfort zone whilst combating daring obstacles and flying from hilltop to hilltop on cross-valley zip wires on our Treetop Challenge course. At over 200 metres long, the forest ziplines that ride across the valley are a showstopper!
And of course, there are walking routes and cycling trails for you and the family to enjoy, as you take in the beautiful forests. It's a family adventure for everyone!
Food & Drink
Come rain or shine there are multiple places to tuck into your lunch at Go Ape Haldon Forest. In the warmer months sit outside and soak up the breathtaking scenery of Exeter's stunning countryside. In the Winter months, you can cosy up in the cafe and relax after you've completed your forest journey!
