What is Tree Adventures?
In case you haven�t been here before� Tree Adventures is Auckland�s favourite outdoor high-wire experience – and it�s just 35 minutes from Auckland�s CBD.

With 10 courses ranging from 2-15 metres above the sprawling Woodhill Forest floor – Tree Adventures is an unforgettable experience, no matter the age or the fitness level.

Once you�ve been geared up and briefed by our friendly instructors, you�ll be let loose in the forest for up to 4 hours. Here, you�ll climb, swing, jump and zipline through the stunning Woodhill pine canopy at a pace that suits you. Thanks to our specific park structure, every individual�s adventure can be as relaxing or challenging as they like.

Any time during your visit, you can relax in our large outdoor picnic area and take in all that fresh coastal air while you enjoy your own snacks and drinks.

However you choose to spend your time out here, one thing is for sure. Your team will leave the experience feeling exhilarated, confident and closer to those they got to share it with. You�ll be hard-pressed to find anything else quite like it.

Tree Adventures is a fantastic replacement for that same old dinner and drinks you do every year. Not to mention the perfect day time activity if you decide to do both this summer. If it�s fun activities or work event ideas you�re after, look no further. Nobody wants to be stuck visiting an escape room because they ran out of office party ideas.

When is the best time to visit?
Over summer, Tree Adventures is open every day from 9.30am until 6.00pm (except for Christmas Day and New Years). We�re open to groups of any size and we will endeavour to facilitate whatever time fits your group best.

That said, if you are booking a larger corporate function, weekdays are usually the best time to come out. Weekday bookings ensure you�ll avoid the busyness of those summer weekends. Plus, they help our staff keep their focus on ensuring the best possible experience for you and your team.

What to Expect
So you�ve had the quick rundown, but what exactly can you expect on the day? No matter whether you�re here with an entire national workforce or just having a get together with a small team or friend group, the process works the same. You�ll be welcomed to the park and guided through everything by our amazing team. We�ll be here to answer any questions your group may have. We�ll also provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone for the duration of your visit.

Here�s what you can expect from start to finish:

Welcome
On arrival, you�ll head over to our reception desk where you�ll check in and meet our team. Then be given a quick explanation of what lies ahead. This is a fantastic opportunity to take in the forest air, scope out the courses and see what we have in store for you.

Safety Equipment Fitting
Once check in is complete, it�s time for the fitting of your safety equipment. Everyone will be fitted with a harness, smart carabiner system, and helmet and directed to our short list of course rules.

Safety Demonstration
When you�re all geared up and ready to go, one of our experienced instructors will lead you through a safety demonstration. Here you�ll be able to familiarise yourself with the course structure and our smart carabiner system.

Climb
This is where the real fun begins. From here you�ll be set free to choose your own adventure and experience it at your leisure. Whether you want to acclimatise with some of our beginner courses or dive straight into the hard stuff, the whole park is yours to explore and enjoy for the next several hours.

Breaks
You can feel free to take as many breaks as you need. Each course ends with an exhilarating zipline from the canopy back to the ground, so you can take a breather while you grab a little something to eat and drink. Then watch the other climbers �til you�re ready to get back into it.

Course Completion and Equipment Return
Once your time is up and your courses are complete, you can return your gear and head out to our relaxing picnic area to enjoy your own snacks and drinks. There, you can catch up over the shared experience and bask in the ambience of the forest until you�re headed back to reality – or the pub if you�re keeping the party going.

Why choose Tree Adventures over other corporate activities?
So now you know what to expect when you get here, but why does Tree Adventures make the perfect corporate team building activity and way to break the ice?

Besides being a unique, exciting and unforgettable experience at a reasonable price-point, Tree Adventures is also situated in a picturesque location away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland city. It�s the perfect place to get in some essential outdoor time while engaging in some fun group activities. Aside from just being a great way to network and catch up, there are a number of benefits to these team building exercises that can help your business grow, going into the new year:

Teamwork and Performance � When your employees know what makes each other tick, they tend to work much better together. A lot of us work from home these days and a work party at Tree Adventures is a wonderful way for remote teams to get better acquainted. Using practical situations that involve leaving one�s comfort zone, encouragement and problem solving is a tried and true way to get your employees on the same page and working towards common goals.
Competition / Challenge � There�s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition. And there�s no better way to build trust and a success-oriented workforce than challenging your team members and having them solve problems together. With us, every individual gets to challenge themselves. Beginning in a place where they feel comfortable, while being encouraged to push beyond this and see what they�re capable of. Your staff will leave the experience feeling ready to take on the year ahead with confidence.
Celebration and Motivation � All work and no play is not a recipe for a successful business. Thankfully Tree Adventures provides both. We combine fun team building activities and hands-on physical challenges with an engaging atmosphere amidst a playground in the trees. It�s the perfect opportunity to make your corporate Christmas event one to remember and reward your team for another year of hard work.

Collaboration and Communication � One great way of testing communication skills is being 15 metres above the ground and hopping between platforms and high-wire activities together. In a highly-stimulating environment with new challenges at every turn, your team will collaborate to finish their adventure together. All the while, learning how each other operates under new and exciting circumstances.

Unparalleled Safety – Here at Tree Adventures, safety is our top priority. Our state of the art Clic-It smart carabiner system ensures that you remain safely attached to our courses from start to finish, while our park staff are always on hand to answer any questions or assist your team with whatever they may require. You can rest assured your group will be in safe hands for the duration of their visit.
