The Zip Wire Safari sees participants soar through a stunning historic granite quarry on a series of dual zip wires, building confidence with every ride. All the profits are donated to Via Ferrata Cornwall CIC’s launching charity BF Adventure, to support their vital work with Cornwall’s vulnerable children and young people.

The Zip Wire Safari

Offering so much more than just a single adrenaline rush, the Zip Wire Safari allows participants to fly through the air to their heart’s content, beginning with a series of practice zip wires and building up to three exhilarating zip rides across the adventure quarry. The dual zip offers double the fun as participants face their fears and launch off the cliff edge, fly round together and make amazing memories.

Part way through, participants also experience the thrill of traversing along the quarry edge to navigate between zip wires, making this one of the most exciting zip wire experiences in the South West. Via Ferrata Cornwall CIC is tucked away in a remote inland spot away from the crowds and a short distance between Helston, Falmouth and Penryn, guaranteeing fantastic views and a unique way to explore the fascinating quarrying heritage at height.

Comprehensive health and safety

Before flying over the quarry, fully qualified Instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing and teach the skills to safely use a zip wire in the training area. Once participants are confident, they are able to enjoy taking flight over the quarry, knowing that they are securely clipped in to the safety cable throughout the entire adventure.

“I have just done the new zip wire safari at Via Ferrata, and it was an incredible adventure! The whole experience was truly exhilarating. The ziplines were great fun and is in a loop that I could do as many times as possible within my time slot, you’re fixed to a safety line throughout the course so you are entirely safe as you clamber along the quarry to each of the zipwires. The staff were friendly and professional, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience...” – Adam, Trip Advisor

“…The best part was being able to go round more than once so after conquering my initial fear I really got to enjoy it and take in the beautiful surroundings…” – Heidi, Trip Advisor
