The Experience
You've just landed in Busselton and have the afternoon free. The drive north to Ludlow Tuart Forest takes about twenty minutes, and when you arrive, the first thing you notice is how tall the trees actually are — the canopy stretches up and the ground feels small. After a quick safety briefing and harness fitting, you're on a practice course at ground level, getting used to the clips and the rhythm of moving through the trees. It takes the edge off the nerves.
Then you start climbing. The six courses at Forest Adventures range from 3 to 19 metres high, so you pick your level and move at your own pace. The beginner courses let you find your footing — literally, on the balance beams and rope bridges — before you move up to the Advanced track. The real draw, though, is the ziplines. Fifteen of them crisscross the forest, and one stretches over 150 metres, which means you're flying through the canopy for long enough to actually breathe and look around instead of just bracing for the landing. The platforms between courses give you a moment to reset, and the qualified supervisors stay close without hovering.
The whole session runs 2.5 hours, which is enough time to push yourself without burning out. You're moving between courses, not standing in a queue, so the time moves fast. By the end you've tested yourself on climbing walls, balance obstacles, and that leap of faith — the jump between platforms that looks scarier than it actually is. The forest around you is native bushland, so you're not in a manicured park; it's real trees, real height, and real views down through the canopy.
What’s included
