The Leap of Faith

We Have 2 High Ropes Courses

The Tree Course

At over 20m, our two tree high elements, the Leap of Faith and High Tyre, are some of the highest in New Zealand

The Leap of Faith (left) invites participants to overcome their fear by jumping off a platform high in the tree tops.

The High Tyre (right) is climbed in pairs with cooperation and communication helping both climbers.

The rest of the group is actively involved in belaying and encouragement.

Both high elements were built by Orton Bradley Outdoor Education Centre under the guidance of Tyndall and Hanham consulting engineers to exceed all relevant standards.

These activities are suitable for age 11 upward.
