Ropes Course Puts Safety First

The ropes course used in both offerings uses one of the safest belaying systems in the industry, and literally won’t allow you to proceed forward unless you are safely secured to the course. Both options Traveling Ink offers also include ground school instruction to teach participants how to safely navigate the course. That said, the course's most difficult elements are as high as 35 feet in the air. If you are fearful of heights, come ready to conquer your fears or leave this adventure until next time.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

    ~ Nicky H.
  • We so enjoyed our time in Charleston. Thank you for all your insight! I am recommending your services to everyone I know who is traveling to Charleston!

    ~Kathryn C.
  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.

    ~ Harriett H.
  • These Charleston pros do a phenomenal job in any setting. Audra was our point person and is a pleasure to work with. She is laid back and can work with any request.
