I am Tarzan!

Have you ever wanted to be the Tarzan?

Don't know who Tarzan is? Then have you ever wanted to be a monkey, jumping from one tree to another, in the heights? Yes? Then try the Treetop Trekking out.


(1) Book a reservation over phone. They don't have online-pay yet. The phone number is 888-733-8679. When you are asked to leave a voice message, don't hesitate, leave a message. You won't be able get through. I called every a few minutes, and never got through. After about a hour, a lady called back, and I got booked at the 1 PM session, which lasted until 4:30 pm. Then email confirmation was received after another 2 hours:

(2) Prepare the trip. You will be advised to wear closed-toe shoes and gloves. I noticed, many people did not wear gloves. The booking lady told me that we should bring some snacks, as they don't sell any food on the site, only water and other drinks. So we were on the road at 10:30 am, and planned to have a lunch at Barrie and arrive the site before 12.30. However July 30 is a long weekend, The traffic jams when we were on the highway. With this speed, we won't be able to have time for lunch, we won't be able to arrive on time. We have have to change our plan, and bought fast-food at a OnRoute Service center. Luckily the traffic eased off gradually, eventually we arrived a few minutes earlier. Following the Treetop Trekking sign, walk to the site office (Refer to the Google satellite image below).

(3) Orientate and train. While waiting, more and more people were coming, some of them were supposed to be on 12:00 session, but missed. That day, there were total 5 sessions. At about 1:10 pm, all the players are get together at a training site, and learn how to the gears, and all kinds of skills and techniques.

(4) Play. The comes the fun part. There are total 6 difficulty levels: green, yellow, red, orange, blue, purple, and black (the black were not open that day). And you must start from the easiest one (green or yellow), then you are allowed to claim on others.
Parents are able to watch all the time. Actually parents must be present if none of the member in your group is 18 year or older.

(5) Look around: Beautiful environment and other activities.This location is a resort place. It is beautiful. You see, a wedding photographing group:

Also, there are other activities, including mini-golf.
