Erawan Patong Zipline — Phuket Ocean-View Zipline Courses & Tours
Fly above Phuket’s rainforest toward sweeping Patong Beach views on the island’s longest zipline. Courses range from a quick thrill to a full-day canopy circuit with sky bridges, abseils, treehouses and a wilderness walk.
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.

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.
