“YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! Just got home from the experience and I’m BUZZING! 10/10 HIGHLY reccomend… I’ll remember this day forever!!”

“Tom was so friendly and made the whole thing so great and was super good at calming my nerves. “

Holly Searle

“I had the amazing opportunity to go on a tree climbing adventure with Cultivara Tree Tours, and it was truly one of the most memorable outdoor experiences I’ve ever had.”

“The climb itself was a fun challenge, but absolutely worth it for the reward at the top, the views were simply breathtaking, peaceful, serene, and unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

Darla Scott

“Fabulous. Magical. Inspiring.”

“Tom’s a reassuring, professional and totally safety focussed lead. Great equipment. Completely recommended. Sunset in the upper canopy…something else again. 🙂 🙂 :)”

Bill M.

“I went to the Cultivara Tree Tours with my 10 y.o. daughter, and we both had a blast!”

“Tom was really good with teaching ropes manipulations, adapting the pace, and engaging in interesting discussions on trees. I highly recommend.”

Mathias L.

“A very cool and unexpectedly relaxing experience. This is why I used to climb trees as a kid.“

“The climb itself is fun and our guide shared many interesting lessons on trees, forest floors and canopies and the specifics of ascending trees via rope. But the best part is just sitting at the top of the giant tree enjoying the cool breeze and the stunning views.”

Zeke Norton

“What an amazing feeling to climb to the top of the canopy and look out over the Salish Sea. If you have time, I totally recommend doing the full expedition.”

“Tom did a great job at making us feel safe, listened to, and excited for the adventure ahead. This was a totally unique opportunity to get closer to nature and get the adrenaline pumping.”
