Tree Surfers
Tavistock, DevonAbout Tree Surfers
Tree Surfers is a place for family adventure. Challenge your balance and test your limits on the tree-top high ropes trail with zip wires, Tarzan swings and ropes bridges. You’ll climb 50 feet up into the woodland canopy and then weave through the trees on our specially-designed trail with a variety of wobbling walkways, footwires and treetop challenges. If that isn't enough adrenalin for you then have a go at the Tree Jump a leap of faith to blow you away!
When you come back down to earth you’ll be on a natural high.
For those who want to stay on the ground we have a woodland archery range where one of our instructors will give you full instructions and help develop your archery skills. Or you can just hire a bike to explore the 30kms of woodland trails, follow the heritage trails or pick up one of our family trail hunting maps.
When its time to relax come back to our base to enjoy our Beech Cafe with stunning views across the valley.
Tree Surfers is set within 100s of acres of woodland in the Tamar Valley, a World heritage site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

High-octane adrenaline fuelled tree surfing for all!
For a day of adventure, you won’t forget. Our tree-top activities are suitable for all ages (4 yrs +) located in the stunning Tamar Valley on the Devon-Cornwall border. In the top of the trees, you'll cross rope bridges, zip lines, walkways and Tarzan swings to challenge and excite you. This is no ordinary family activity day out. There are four specially designed high ropes courses from “junior” to the “black run”, plus the exhilarating “big zip”. There’s so much to explore. It’s easy to spend the whole day with us having an amazing outdoor experience.
The fun doesn’t stop there, book an archery session, hire a bike or explore some of the 25km of trails and mountain bike tracks. And there’s our fabulous Beech Cafe for lunches, afternoon teas and delicious homemade cakes. With plenty of car parking, a picnic area, an information centre and facilities this is an all day activity must for families on holiday.
We are located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, in the Tamar Valley. Our warm and friendly staff are trained to support you every step of the way. It’s a chance to run wild and have an adventure together.
The Big Zip
Experience the thrill and exhilaration of flying through the air on our Big Zip stretching all the way from the tree canopy to the forest floor.
The Big Zip starts near the top of one of our grand trees giving you an amazing view of the canopy and a rush of adrenaline as you fly through the sky.
A great activity to do with friends, family or as part of a group, and is a brilliant introduction to fun adventure in the trees.
Don’t forget, you can add the BIG zip experience onto your day’s Tree Surfing adventure….
Who can do it?
To take part in the BIG zip, you need to be aged 6+ years, and be under 18 stone in weight.
Archery. Pull…. Aim…. Shoot!
Requiring skill, accuracy and poise to be a truly good shot, archery is an Olympic sport for a reason! Have you got the nerve to be a great shot? Suitable for ages 6+, this is a great family fun activity.
Our instructors are trained to bring out the best in everyone from age 6 upwards. Sessions are available in hourly slots, although special packages can be arranged for businesses, schools and other organisations looking for team-building activities with a difference.
Archery is a fantastic outdoor activity for all ages and abilities. Our archery course is located at our multi-activity centre at Gulworthy between Tavistock and Gunnislake, so it’s easily accessible for visitors coming from or staying in Devon or Cornwall.
