The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning departures

Temperatures are cooler and trails are less dusty early; visibility for coastal views is usually best before midday haze.

Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants

ATV terrain is gritty and zipline harnesses can rub—sturdy shoes and pants cut down on scrapes and irritation.

Hydrate and bring a small daypack

Tropical heat moves fast; keep a refillable bottle and sunscreen in an easy-access pocket.

Listen closely to the safety briefing

Guides fit harnesses and set belays—following instructions keeps the course smooth and safe for everyone.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Karon Viewpoint at sunrise for layered coastal light
  • Quiet path to Kata Noi Beach below the viewpoint—fewer tourists late afternoon

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (watch personal items)
  • Monitor lizards in lowland forest edges

Conservation Note

Flying Hanuman emphasizes minimal drilling and external attachments to protect trees; stay on marked tracks, avoid feeding wildlife, and pack out waste to reduce impact.

Phuket grew from tin-mining and maritime trade; roadside shrines and Sino-Thai architecture reflect the island’s trading past.
