Recreational tree climbing is an experience that leaves you with a real sense of achievement and heightened affinity with nature.

Treeclimbers provides guided treeclimbing adventures. All the ropes are set up and knots are tied by the facilitator. Safety equipment is supplied and fitted, all ready for you to climb the tree.

We offer you a chance to rediscover the freedom of the tree tops. Enjoy a leafy adventure in a relaxed atmosphere under the guidance of a TCI trained facilitator. We are insured and employ internationally recognised safety standards.

Tree Climbers is based in Brisbane, Queensland and the council gave us permission to use several trees for climbing including this beautiful Moreton Bay Fig!  

Whether you’re young or young at heart tree climbing is now available to you. It can be as challenging as you want to make it and is always fun! You don’t need any prior training to climb with us and only minimal physical strength is needed. Beginner Climbs are just $35. Group prices and referral discounts available.

Recreation in the trees

Great place for recreation in the trees.

Written on Tuesday, November 30th, 1999 by Russell

Brisbane with it’s sub tropical climate and abundance of outdoor spaces is a great place for recreation in the trees. Here are some photos from our most recent climbs. All climbers have never tried modern tree climbing before.

Even though we got a bit wet in our second climb a great time was had by all.

Beautiful winter day and one happy canopy explorer!

 

Koala researcher Sean and Gwen doing their best ‘Koala Grip!’.  Plenty of fun was had by all while brushing up their skills.

Basic Tree Climbing Course

Pete a student of Tree Climbers is shown above using his footloops to gain a birds eye view. Sometimes the simplest gear is the best.
Modern technical tree climbing gives you the chance to safely explore those trees you previously thought were out of reach. A tree can be your playground or your place for meditation and fortunately in Brisbane we have lots of them. A basic tree climbing course can give you the keys to the playground. If you would like to register your interest  in a course please contact us.
