Aero Explorer takes you on a high-speed journey across the quarry like never before. Once fitted with your harness and helmet, you will receive a full safety briefing before beginning the climb up the first spiral tower. Feel the anticipation build as you ascend on foot, then launch off for the first section of the track, gliding out over the rugged quarry landscape below. After completing the first stretch, you will tackle a second ascent up an even taller spiral tower. From here, you will take off again — this time soaring along a longer, faster section of the 400-metre track. As you race through the air, you will enjoy breathtaking views across the dramatic terrain, adding an unforgettable backdrop to the adrenaline rush. Once both sections are complete, rejoin the queue for your second go and experience it all over again. After your flights, de-kit and leave feeling exhilarated, energised and full of incredible memories — whether you are a seasoned thrill-seeker or taking on your first big adventure.
