The Ape Atoll Agility course is located near Marim, Ape Atoll. It is a higher level Agility course, requiring Level 48 to use. Around 70 Agility is recommended so that the player fails fewer obstacles; at 75, failure no longer occurs. A Ninja Greegree (other types of monkeys are not agile enough to use the course) and completion of Chapter 2 of Monkey Madness is also required to use the course. Players can use the Teleport to Ape Atoll spell to reach a location close to the course. It is sometimes considered the best course to reach level 99 Agility, as it is the second fastest agility xp at 80-99 agility. Although, the Dorgesh-Kaan Course becomes accessible at 80+ agility, the reduced xp per completed round puts it at a lower xp rate, so Ape Atoll should be used until 85 agility at which point the advanced agility course is a faster option.

World 46 is the unofficial Ape Atoll Agility Course world. Using this world, some players find it easier to maximise their experience per hour because they can race others around the course. However, trouble clicking on the vine while people are swinging across it may actually result in it being harder to maximise xp per hour.

Familiars can not be used on this course.

Ape Atoll's obstacles
Image Name XP Image Name XP Image Name XP
Jump-to 40 Climb 40 Swing Across 40
Climb-up 60 Swing 100 Climb-down 300

The final obstacle (climb-down) gives 300xp, if you've completed the whole course, which brings the total for the course to 580xp. One disadvantage of using this course prior to obtaining 75 Agility is that it is possible to fail the last climb down, resulting in the loss of more than half of the total experience received from one lap.

When the player has clicked on the last climb down, already right click the menu of the first jump, so the player can easily walk to it when the player is down the climb-down, this saves a few seconds every lap.

The fastest possible lap is 34.96 seconds.

[edit] Regenerating Hitpoints

  • When you're out of food, grab some bananas from the warehouse just north from the earlier mentioned small bridge or outside the monkey child's house. Enter through the back door (south side) and search the first crate on your left hand side.
  • Bring a knife to slice pineapples from the plant next to the course.
  • You can bring some money to buy Banana stew from Solihib's Food Stall which can be found nearby. You won't need a Monkeyspeak Amulet because you can simlpy right-click at Solihib to trade.
  • At Level 5 Thieving you can steal bananas from the food store.
  • At Level 76 Fishing you can fish raw sharks from the fishing spot nearby. If you take an axe and a tinderbox, you can make a fire and cook sharks on it (80 Cooking required).
  • If you have almost or near full hp you will take around 7 damage upon failure but as you lose more and more hp you will only take up to 3 Damage.
  • Bring prayer restoring items to use Rapid Heal or Redemption and use the altar in the temple North-east of the course to recharge your Prayer from time to time.
  • Have a rest. This will speed up HP recover.
  • After the Rope swing, there is a cave with a monkey nut bush with Tchiki monkey nuts on it. Though you must reach a certain point in Recipe for disaster and there only grows 1 (you can drop them and pick more), its an easy, reliable way of getting food. You cannot pick the nuts if you have completed the King Awowogei section of Recipe for Disaster.
  • One of the best strategies to healing is to bring enhanced excalibur along with food and use the special attack to heal yourself when necessary. At Level 70 and over, using this method should last you an unlimited time without need of food.
