The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning departures

Mornings usually have calmer winds and clearer sea views, and are cooler for hiking between platforms.

Wear flat-soled shoes

Closed-toe, flat-soled sneakers are required for safety and for walking the brief jungle approaches.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Bring a small water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen—tropical sun and exertion add up quickly on platforms and stairs.

Mind the weight/age limits

Maximum participant weight is around 120 kg and minimum age is 4; check restrictions before booking to avoid disappointment.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Climb the spiral staircase wrapped around the central tree for panoramic canopy angles few visitors notice
  • Short wilderness trails near the treehouses reveal medicinal plants and native fig species used by locals

Wildlife

  • Monitor lizards
  • Tropical songbirds such as bulbuls and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators typically emphasize low-impact infrastructure and limit platform footprints; visitors should stick to marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce disturbance.

The ridge above Patong was historically a low-density agricultural area before tourism grew; early trails follow old collection routes for forest products.
