What is Tree Adventures?

Tree Adventures is Auckland’s favourite outdoor high-wire experience. Set just 35 minutes drive from Auckland City, we provide an unforgettable adventure for all ages.

With 10 courses ranging from 2-14m above ground in Auckland’s sprawling, Woodhill forest, there’s an option for everyone, from hardened adrenalin junkies to the height-averse who just fancy a leisurely climb.

After being suited up and shown the ropes, you’ll go at your own pace, swinging, climbing, jumping and swinging through the forest canopy as you take in the sights, challenge yourself and breathe in the fresh air. You’ll leave the experience feeling exhilarated, confident and closer to those you get to share it with. There’s really nothing like it.

Lasting between 2-3 hours, you can relax before and after the course in our sheltered area or outdoor picnic tables, making it the perfect opportunity to spend some time outdoors. Bring your own snacks and drinks, and enjoy the post-climb debrief while you’re still buzzing from the climb.

 

What To Expect
So you’ve had the quick rundown, but what exactly can you expect on the day? Whether you’re in a corporate group or just a casual party, you’ll be welcomed to the park and guided through the process by our awesome team members. They’ll be there to answer any questions, keep everyone safe, happy and enjoying themselves on the day.

Here’s what you can expect when you arrive:

Welcome
When you arrive, you’ll head over to our kiosk where you’ll sign in, meet our staff and given a quick rundown of what’s in store. This is a great opportunity to take in the course, see other climbers enjoying themselves and chat to those who have just finished theirs!

Safety Equipment Fitting
With your group ready, it’s time for your safety equipment fitting. Everyone will be fitted with a harness and helmet by our staff and asked to read the course rules.

Safety Demonstration
When you’re all fitted and ready to go, our team will lead you through a safety demonstration where you’ll be able to familiarise yourself with the course and how everything works.

Climb
Now the real fun starts. Depending on which adventure option you’ve chosen, you’ll be free to enjoy and explore the adrenalin forest course at your own pace, with the average session taking about 2.5 hours to complete. This will also depend on the number of other climbers and your skill level.

Break
If you’d like a break, no problem. Each short course ends with an exhilarating flying fox ride back to the ground, so you can take a breather and watch the other climbers ‘til you’re ready to get back into it.

Course Completion and Equipment Return
When the course is complete, you can return your gear, then head out to the leisure area to enjoy your own snacks and drinks, take in the sights and discuss the climb.

Why Tree Adventures?
So you know what to expect, but why does Tree Adventures make the perfect corporate function?

Besides being a new, exciting and unforgettable experience in a beautiful location, Tree Adventures is the perfect place to have some real fun while engaging in some essential team-building. Aside from just being a great way to interact and network, there are a number of benefits to team building that can help your business grow into the new year ahead:

1. Teamwork and Performance – When your employees know what makes each other tick, they tend to work much better together. Using practical situations that involve encouragement, problem solving and venturing outside of comfort zones is a tried and tested way to get your employees on the same page and working towards common goals.
   
   
2. Competition / Challenge – There’s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition and challenging your team members, while having them solve problems together is a great way to build relationships and a success-oriented workforce. In the case of Tree Adventures, every individual gets to challenge themselves, setting their own pace while being encouraged to see what they’re capable of by their group members. Your staff will leave the experience feeling ready to take on the year ahead with confidence.
   
   
3. Celebration and Motivation – All work and no play is never a recipe for success. Tree Adventures provides both, combining teamwork and hands-on physical challenges with a fun, engaging atmosphere amidst a playground in the trees. It’s the perfect opportunity to make your corporate function productive and reward your team for another year of hard work with a thrilling outdoor activity.
   
   
4. Collaboration and Communication – There’s no better way of testing communication skills than when you’re 14 metres above the ground hopping between platforms together. In a highly-stimulating environment with new challenges at every turn, your team will collaborate to finish their adventures together and learn how everyone operates in exciting, new circumstances.
