The height circuits and zip lines are currently not accessible to people with reduced mobility who use wheelchairs.

The activities require a minimum physical condition to overcome the games and challenges at altitude. Also, participants must not have any physical health problems (e.g. heart disease, respiratory problems, etc.) and accept that there is a risk of injury (e.g. scratches, bumps, bruises, cuts, sprains or other injuries) when doing the activities.

In case of doubt, we recommend that you ask your doctor if you can do Forestal Park Tenerife activities with X condition.

I weigh more than 110 kg, can I do the routes at height?2023-08-15T17:59:35+00:00

To access the routes at altitude, participants will be equipped with PETZL harnesses, model PANJI, which are one size fits all and cover a wide range of sizes, thanks to the adjustment of the belt (up to 120 cm) and leg loops (up to 75 cm). It is essential that the harness is correctly adapted to the morphology of your body in order to be able to carry out the activity and avoid ‘harness syndrome’ in the event of getting hung up.

In case you weigh more than 110kg and the harness is adapted to your morphology, you must take into account that a maximum of 130kg is allowed.

How do I know that the facilities comply with safety regulations?2023-08-15T19:34:23+00:00

Every year, both the installations of the high-altitude circuits and the zip lines as well as the supporting trees pass an external inspection in accordance with the European standard for high altitude acrobatic circuits. This certification is visible at our reception and you can consult it here

In any case, please consult our regulations so that you are aware of all the conditions of participation that must be fulfilled in order to enjoy a safe experience (link to the park’s regulations and the conditions of participation sheet).

Do I have to wear a helmet?2023-08-15T17:56:37+00:00

European regulations for acrobatic routes at height don’t require the use of helmets as this isn’t an activity that involves a danger to the area protected by this element. In any case, if any participant needs to use a helmet for any special reason, please contact us to confirm the availability of the material or to give you the relevant instructions in relation to your case.

Is the activity safe?2023-08-15T17:57:15+00:00

Since the end of 2016 we have been working with a safety system called ‘continuous life line’ i.e. you connect at the start to a safety cable ‘life line’ that runs through the whole circuit and you cannot disconnect until you land back on the ground.

Before starting the activity, you will receive a safety talk on a test circuit where the instructors will explain how this system works, how you have to use the elements and what steps you have to take to perform the activity under the highest safety standards.

Can I take my camera and/or video camera with me during the activity?2023-08-15T18:13:34+00:00

The activity is carried out under supervised autonomy, i.e. the instructor is in charge of supervising the safety equipment, teaching how to use it on the test circuit and goes up to the circuits in case help is needed. From the ground they supervise that all participants and companions follow the instructions and rules of Forestal Park Tenerife.

Can I leave the activity without completing the three hours of activity?2023-08-15T18:09:43+00:00
