Social distancing rules are NOT respected or ENFORCED at the Maple Ridge location. You can see 4-7 people at the platforms in the air standing 18 inches or less from each other. No they were not all from the same family or group, and it was in practically in every platform where you would see someone hesitating a little to live forward, as people catch up with that slower people, they got jammed and close to each other. The employees made ZERO effort to control people to maintain spacing and avoiding getting more than 2 people at one platform. Plenty of space for 2 people to socially distance at the platforms, but not much for more than that. The management of a business is responsible to ENFORCE social distancing within their business, or their business licence can be suspended. Within the first 60 minutes of being there, after the kids getting their safety harnesses, it was clear to us that this place will be the best COVID-19 breakout among young people as well as adults. I give them this... they do make it look as if they want to keep people safe, since there is sanitizer at the start of each section, but that only works as long as people don’t touch their noses, mouths, eyes. I saw people sneezing, laughing, screaming, and talking loudly as they were attaching or moving forward on the equipment. Never saw any of their employees go up on any of the sections, wiping anything with any sort of antibacterial product. Making it look like it’s clean and safe, isn’t the same as making sure it is clean & safe. Another thing I noticed... they have some very knowledgeable employees there... which is clear on some. Strong leaders and very capable to help someone be safe, BUT they have very weak employees doing the safety class at the start of the course. Why is that??? It should be one of the strong leaders doing this job!!. I saw this young male teaching people how to attach to the equipment and the basic things you need to know, so you don’t plummet to your death or a life altering injuring (all to which you sign a waiver to, including if it is the staff negligence that causes the accident or equipment failure!!!). He mumbled it all to himself, and unfortunately, it was a bunch of young kids in the group I saw him teaching. Obviously the majority of them didn’t understand how to do things because after 10 minutes another member had to come and explain it all again. I was concerned when I saw this. Also while there, I noticed some areas weren’t manned. There were users on the equipment, but no staff at the bottom paying attention if there was Any issues or anything like assisting people that got stuck... and boy are there any.... at least 40% of the people have issues moving forward either because the harness is stuck or because they are afraid. Anyway, I wouldn’t come back until they change the way they do things, and the WAIVER doesn’t make staff negligence and equipment failure an okay thing. I’m having a lawyer look at the contract closely to see if we can start a class action against this place, so that in the very least they are forced to change the staff negligence and equipment failure. If it’s user mistake, oh well.... but if the staff member they put to do the safety portion of the education to the user , is the weakest most insecure person mumbling gibberish.... you are creating a safety issue there, and should be made responsible for whatever may happen. Wouldn’t recommend if you care about your safety.

It had been a while since I visited Vancouver but the first thing I did upon returning was book another tour with Paul at "Into the Wild". New routes but the same great fun and service. I simply cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you for looking after us so well, we will keep coming back again and again! (Sorry about the delay in writing the review!)

ALL KINDS OF COOL OBSTACLES – UP HIGH IN THE SKY. 15 games and 3 ziplines that push the challenge off the charts. Up to 60ft high! Way, way up above your head, there’s an obstacle course where we throw everything at you: log ladders, ziplines, cargo nets, rope swings, tightropes, swinging logs, wobbly bridges. Dozens of suspended surprises are up there, becoming more challenging the higher you get. But stick with it, you’ll learn as you go. Our Adventure Course games are “a-ok” for humans who aren’t always gung-ho about heights, because everyone needs somewhere to let their fear out to play.
