About

Tree climbing experience on the Isle of Wight

A tree climb with Goodleaf is uncomplicated, top quality fun that’s highly rated by our climbers - people have called Goodleaf 'outstanding' and a 'once in a lifetime experience' on TripAdvisor. Book online now.

Our popular two hour tree climbing experiences are the perfect introduction to the magical thrill of tree climbing. The experience takes place with small groups of climbers. There's no pressure to climb high or even reach the top of the tree; you might just enjoy the unusual experience of sitting on a branch and taking in your surroundings. We provide qualified and experienced instructors who will teach you the ropes (and the knots!), to enable you to take to the canopy of our stunning mature oak tree. We provide the latest safety equipment including harness and helmet.

Outdoor adventure activity

We think tree climbing with Goodleaf is great because:

- It's tech free time for adults and kids.
- You absorb amazing physical and mental health benefits just by being out in nature, let alone getting this close to it.
- Our tree climbers often achieve way more than they expected - tree climbing is a great self confidence boost.
- Our lovely staff are on hand supporting and encouraging you throughout your climb.
- We provide what one Trip Advisor review called 'The World's Best Flapjack' as part of the 2 hour experience!

Tree climbing in Appley Park

Goodleaf is based in Appley Park in Ryde and just a two minute walk from the sandy beach of Appley. There are lovely places to eat nearby or you can bring a picnic to enjoy in the park or on the beach. There's a pay and display car park, but don’t forget we offer a 5% discount if you travel to us on foot, bike, bus or train.

Essential recreational tree climbing

Our intensive three day recreational tree climbing course is for those who want to take their recreational tree climbing further.

Branch outs

We do branch out to other trees from time to time. Our e-newsletter sign up is the best place to keep up to date.

School and youth groups

Why not try an adventurous learning experience for your class? We welcome school parties and scout groups and have excellent group rates.
