Once across the bridge, your remaining 20 exciting elements journey through the forest begins as you trail to the start aerial zips, crisscross the gorge. There are zip lines of 52 feet to 328 feet in length. The geography of the gorge dictates that you are above the treetops for large parts of the run - exiting and entering a corridor in the foliage at either end. There are a series of 9 zip lines, 9 typical challenge elements, 1 Leap of Faith, 1 tree house and 2 suspension bridges giving you a wonderful opportunity to have a bird's eye view of the flora and fauna in the rainforest whilst listening to the numerous bird species.

You will have some short trails into the gorge and then a series of connecting zip lines, bridges and challenge elements, which criss-cross the gorge at tree canopy level. The gorge is full of interesting plants and fruits and has a definite "tropical" feel to it especially when you take a break in our tree house, hidden from the rest of the world!
