Adventures a la Tarzan

Everyone at one time or another has dreamt of swinging through the trees with ease and making loud cries a la Tarzan imagining a verdant African landscape with many a dangerous beast creeping below. Well, it may be possible now at Singapore’s Forest Adventure, minus the dangerous beasts!
An aerial rope course six metres above ground, it is built through the trees comprising ladders, swings, nets, trapezes and giant zip lines, the longest of which spans 200 metres, designed to give the maximum thrills and adrenaline pumping action. Those who dare can experience the wind rushing through their hair while whirling through the green forest canopy and be carried over water clinging to the zip line for dear life. 

Take the Grand Course with the thirty four obstacles and have the time of your life swinging through the trees with that exhilarating feeling that only height and speed will give. See the untrammelled views of the waterfront and the greenery around the Bedock Reservoir, an ‘out of this world’ experience for city dwellers. Participants are equipped with harnesses and helmets and are attached to a safety line and instructors are trained to rescue anyone who is stuck in a tree! Adults are said to take about two and a half hours to complete the course. Not everyone is allowed on the course as participants have to be at least 1.4 metres tall, weigh below 130 kg and be over 21 years old. While children as young as five years old can take to the trees on a smaller course with 16 obstacles, their parents are required to guide them from below.

The course has been designed and built by an international expert on tree top courses according to European guidelines. It is tested annually for conformation with safety requirements. Instructors have been trained in customer assistance and rescue. The trees and the surrounding forest landscape are tended by special arborists to ensure optimum tree health thereby ensuring treetop adventures in safety. 

Discover the joys of outdoor activity, the thrill of adventure and being together with friends and family and most of all having a great time outdoors among green and natural surroundings.
