Loved the location, pricing and the challenges of the course. very popular activity so for the best time and limited waits, be there and ready to go by 9 am. Good value for money and different from other tree trekking sites
What a blast! Very well planned, built and maintained zip lines through a large wooded area. A great selection of difficulties with everything from pain inducing climbing to long, high, gentle zips over open areas. We all had a great time ranging from an 8 year old to 2 adults. We all felt very safe, even though we were well up in the treeline. The amount of time available was just about perfect, I was nice and bushed by the end. Do it!
This is one of the most fun places I've ever visited - a huge adventure playground for adults. ( The adrenaline rush of the ziplines plus a great workout of balance, strength, and problem-solving. Even the 'easy' courses were challenging for me as a middle aged person and the medium ones - wow ! (My friend and I never got to the hard courses, but they looked amazing - if I lived nearer I would go back many times to try them all.) Staff were always on hand to rescue stranded people. A few tips: a) try 1 5 and 10 first - for course 5, don't forget the thin yellow ropes are ones you can pull to receive a tool (the staff say this in the training but my friend and I forgot and did the first obstacle the hard way). b) Arrive early as on sunny days queues for equipment and training are long by midday and you may have to wait. c) There are washrooms only across the huge parking lot in the main building of the ski lodge so you may like to drive to the ski lodge on arrival, use the facilities, and then park at the on tree hut as once you have the climbing harness on the hassle factor would be considerable. d) They recommend that you leave wallets in your car and car keys at the desk to avoid having them fall from your pockets - follow the advice but keep some $ for drinks when you come back or during the day as it is a full on workout. e) The kids we saw were having a blast on the easy courses - and there is a special kid's course as well for them - but most courses have a minimum height and age so research ahead of time if your kids are old enough.
One of the most fun things I have ever done on vacation. The equipment is top notch and absolutely safe. Staff are great, good instructions, always around if any assistance is required. The courses have a tremendous range from very easy( but still fun) to some that give you a good workout. I certainly pushed some of my limits and really the knowledge that I was 100% safe while doing so. Definitely worth the drive.
An absolute treat for a Sunday morning adventure. Friendly staff, a beautiful location and lots of challenging courses.
What an amazing fun time. Challenging but fun for all ages unless handicapped or previously injured in any way. Tests strength to some degree but staff were great and took the training time very seriously but still made it fun. Easy to learn and the ziplining was fun on every course. Can't wait to go back. Fabulous family day and would be great fun for a couple looking for an adventure for an afternoon. Highly recommended. Saw one person get stuck but staff were quick to help out. Very safe also and somewhat foolproof! I'd have stayed past the three hours allotted per visit and paid the extra ....but others in our group had to go......so, hope to stay longer next time. Fresh air and family fun and excitement.
We drove 90 minutes from Peggys Cove hoping it would be worth the ride. It indeed was. Hard to tell who had more fun- the kids (10 and 12) or the parents (older than that ;-) The owners and staff were super.
The course is nice and the equipment appears very safe. The staff is nice and helpful. There is a nice variety of difficulty level. No 4 is crazy hard! Especially once you are already tired from the other courses..... Bathrooms are super far.
Ontree has over 12 courses and they covered all different levels of skill so my husband and son could go on the more difficult routes while my daughter and I stuck to the easier routes but still had a lot of fun and some challenging courses that we were able to complete. Not a good activity for those who are afraid of heights. I would highly recommend going first thing in the morning before it gets too busy. Once it gets busy you could spend a bit of time waiting for people ahead of you to get through the course. It was a fun way to spend three active hours with my family
I went with 2 of my teenage boys. We have not had this much fun in a long time. I'm not in the greatest shape and I was able to still get through the courses and have a lot of fun in the process. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and eager to help if you got into trouble. There are enough courses to get through even on a busy day. The people ahead of you would stop and give words of encouragement. The people behind all seemed to patiently wait. After you went through a couple of courses we all understood the challenges and waited. I would go again in a heartbeat. It is well worth spending the money for such an enjoyable afternoon. When we arrived we had a wait time of about 45 minutes. We spent that time walking through the park and planning our route.If you are on the fence go ahead and do it. You won't regret it. If I can do it, anyone can do it!
