Green Challenge

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s all-new, exhilarating treetops ropes course – the Green Challenge – is bigger and even more exciting than ever before.

The Green Challenge, presented in association with Adventure Parc, is the newest nature-based adventure experience for the Gold Coast.

Sixty-five challenges, over four separate courses, will weave their way through the eucalypt and rainforest canopy, taking visitors higher and further into the spectacular natural setting.

The Green Challenge is based on the Adventure Parc concept, which takes elements of SAS commando training delivered as safe, fun and exciting treetops ropes courses for children and adults.

The new Currumbin courses will be like no other – surrounded by native wildlife, combined with world-class wildlife displays and shows located just a short walk from one of Australia’s best beaches.

The four courses will include a beginners’ course, two intermediate courses and the Extreme Green Challenge – an advanced course designed to offer the ultimate challenge for participants.

With high Tarzan swings and a giant flying fox, the Extreme Green Challenge will test the agility and daring of anyone who takes on the course.

Each of the Green Challenge courses has been designed for children and adults alike for family fun, fitness and team building. Children must be able to comfortably reach 160cm to enter the Green Challenge. To measure yourself or a child, stand with flat feet on the ground and raise arms above head with hands outstretched. Measure from the ground to the middle of the palm of the hand. To continue to the advanced Black Course, particiants must be able to reach 180cm.

All necessary equipment and a safety briefing is provided for each participant, ensuring a safe, fun and exhilarating experience.
