Eco-Tours.

Hello fellow tree climbers.

My brother and are are attempting to start up an eco-tour (tree climbing) venture over seas. if any one has any helpful advice we'd appreciate it!!

Cheers.

Dave and Derek.

As Treeman often says "tell us more". Are you looking for information on a specific aspect of climbing? Joe Maher over at Tree Cimbers Coalition would be a good person to talk to about rainforest climbing and leading groups etc:

What is your experience level? What training do you have? I have known a number who have tried the "eco tree climbing" idea with no solid grounding of training or experience and have failed. Not trying to take the wind out of your sails here, but dealing with tourist tree climbers is much more involved than what it looks like on the surface.

Here in Costa Rica there are some places you can climb trees - Hacienda Baru comes to mind. Pretty tame, but that is what you need when you accept just about anyone.

The tree that I climbed went straight up to the first limb - more than 80' up.

Got to hang out with the sloths for a while. Wish I could climb like them!
