Treetop Ziplines in Tibradden Woods, Dublin Mountains

Swing across rope bridges and fly over the canopy on an expert-guided treetop course in the forests just outside Dublin.

A Forest on Dublin’s Doorstep

Tibradden Woods belongs to the historic forest network of the Dublin Mountains, once worked for timber and now cared for as a place for conservation and recreation. Old oaks and conifers shelter foxes, badgers and many woodland birds, and the woods have long been a green escape for Dubliners. A treetop adventure course lets you experience this rich, historic forest from high among its branches.

Coaching, Not Crowds

Booking for a small group or privately means every person gets hands-on coaching from the instructors. You can take your time on the tricky sections, ride the ziplines more than once and build your skills without a crowd behind you. Safety briefings and harness fitting are done one by one, and your guides match the pace to the group’s ability and energy, which makes it a fun day for a group of friends or a couple who like a challenge.

With fewer people, there’s more chance for photos and for noticing the forest itself: pause on a high platform to watch birds, mossy trunks and sunlight slipping through the leaves, the details a hurried group sails past.

Platforms, Bridges and Flights

The course begins with a woodland trail to the first platform. From there you cross a network of wooden platforms linked by rope ladders, swaying bridges and hanging logs, and each zipline sends you flying briefly over the canopy, the rush of speed and height a contrast to the careful balancing in between.

The Woods Between Obstacles

The forest is full of color and texture, with moss carpeting the floor, lichen on the bark and beams of light breaking through the canopy. In the calmer moments between obstacles, a small group can spot woodland wildlife or look out over the mountains and valleys around you. Your Out Of Office LGBTQ+ travel specialist can add it to a Dublin stay at a welcoming hotel.
