What to bring
- Gloves are REQUIRED. You can bring your own or purchase at Go Ape when you arrive. Latex and single use disposable gloves are not permitted.
- Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty. You may want to bring a change of clothing for the ride home. We also have apparel available for purchase in our cabin.
- Fully enclosed shoes are required. We recommend ankle-supporting boots, but sneakers are fine too. For your safety, do NOT wear sandals, slip-ons, or any shoe where your foot or toes are partially exposed.
- Dress for the weather! Layers, hats, gloves, and rain gear are recommended depending on the weather forecast.
- For your safety... long hair should be tied back, waists and thighs should be covered, and body jewelry should be removed or taped over.
- You may take cameras, phones, and any other device on the course as long as they are secured to you and tucked away to prevent them from getting caught or falling to the ground. We also have mobile phone holders available to purchase (limited supply).
- We DON'T recommend bringing a bag with you into the trees because they are bulky, but if you must bring a bag, it should fit closely to your body and must not interfere with the harness or related Go Ape gear. A small backpack with tight fitting straps usually works fine. Fanny packs aren't great because they sit right where your harness will be.
- Please leave extra bags and belongings locked in your car during your adventure. We can hold onto keys for you at the cabin. Go Ape is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
