Absolutely brilliant day out the team were extremely professional health and safety was covered very professionally and very specifically made everyone feel at ease. The environment and settings around Glentress forest are quite stunning and peaceful. The course is challenging but not too challenging and there’s always help at hand on the final zip line from the Highpoint across the water to the other side is stunning. Dougie was an excellent tutor and was very professional. Can’t wait till the next visit.

We had a fantastic day at GoApe Glentress yesterday. Claire was our instructor and was absolutely brilliant from beggining to end! She helped without hesitation where people needed it and laughed along with us. Even kept some of our "big kids" in check! 🤣 She also did a bit of forraging to retrieve someone's phone from the bushes! We were quite a large group and all the staff members were extremely friendly, patient and accommodating! They told us tips and tricks and chatted to us about some of the obstacles. If you're looking for a thrilling day out, I would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience. Well explained and guided. Allow over two hours or three if less confident. Spending time in green and nature, having active fun. Not too difficult but quite scary at times. The longest zip line in Scotland. The staff is super friendly and helpful
