Treetop Trekking Barrie Zipline And Aerial Game Trek

My husband and I came to Barrie Treetop Trekking for our anniversary. We thought we’d try something new. 20 years ago, it would have been a wonderful idea, but as we’re both in our 40s, it was rough. Fun. But rough. That being said, the location is beautiful. You do need to hike up to the Tree Top Trekking Location, so arrive early, but there are signs directing you and the resort is beautiful, so it makes a nice wee walk. The guides were wonderful and friendly. Very much no-nonsense while conducting the orientation BUT given that its focus is on your safety and ensuring you don’t plummet from the tree tops, it’s certainly understandable. Maddie, our instructor, was wonderful. She ensured we all were properly suited up with our harness and helmet and walked everyone through the orientation. The tree top trekking itself consists of 5 courses, in incremental levels of difficulty. We did not get to the last two. We did have a wonderful time, I aced the first two courses and the third kicked my rear. All in all, lovely location, friendly but serious-about-safety staff and we had a good, if exhausting, time. Bear in mind, there is a 3 hour time limit per group. I can’t imagine completing all 5 within that time frame, but perhaps if you’re more fit (or younger) it could be done. It is quite popular so arrive early, pay attention to instructions and seriously stretch before climbing.
