"The staff were friendly ,helpful and most of all patient with both a terrified overwelmed and just getting over a viral bug 11 yr old and her mid 40 , fluffy , fit left me behind somewhere in my 20's mother.
Despite weeks of preparation it was extremely challenging for us both and my 11 yr old was coached the entire second part of the first level course . Should have taken about an hour per level to do but ended up just over 2 and we didn't complete the full first level course but were fast tracked through to the last flying fox .
7 yr old could not complete the first part of the course and came off almost immediately .
Needs a certain level of confidence , fitness and the ability to stay brave when tackling moving obstacles on a high ropes challenge.
Definately worth the money and well worth a second go when they are older and maybe more confident and brave ."

"⭐ Next Level Maroochydore – A Ropes Course That Humbled Me (In the Best Way)
Today I discovered that my fight-or-flight response kicks in mid-air, and apparently “flight” doesn’t mean zipline 😂
We visited Next Level Maroochydore for the high ropes adventure, and let me just say: the so-called “easy” level had my knees shaking like a jellyfish on a trampoline. From the moment we harnessed up, I knew I was in for a challenge. Heights? Not my strong suit. Confidence? Left it on the ground.
But Liliana? An absolute ninja. She zipped, climbed, and balanced like she’d been training for this her whole life. Meanwhile, I stood on the edge of the first platform in a full-blown mental debate with gravity — until one of the lovely staff members kindly (physically) gave me a push to get going 🙈
The course is well set up, the views are stunning, and the staff are absolute legends — calm, encouraging, and ready to help when fear takes over (which, in my case, was often).
If you love an adrenaline rush or want to challenge yourself, this place is a must. Whether you're a fearless climber or a reluctant dangler like me, Next Level delivers laughs, thrills, and a solid boost to your bravery levels.
🌟 Highlights:
Great variety of courses for all levels (even if the “easy” one still had me sweating)
Amazing staff; supportive and professional
Gorgeous views from the platforms
Super fun and safe setup for kids and adults alike
10/10 experience, even if I screamed on the zipline and needed moral support the entire way. Would I do it again? …Yes. But only if I can bring Liliana as my emotional support human 💪"
