Fly Like a Hawk — Koh Samui's Longest Zipline with Skywalks and Abseils
Soar across Koh Samui’s rainforest on the island’s longest zipline course — 14–20 lines, skywalks, and abseils that put you above sweeping canopy and coastal views. Read on for what to expect, gear tips, and seasonal planning advice.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect toes on platforms and during short approaches; sandals aren’t allowed.
Bring long pants
Light-weight trousers shield your legs on harness rides and during abseils to prevent chafing from harness straps.
Hydrate before you go
Four-hour visits in tropical heat can dehydrate you — drink water before arrival and take small sips between lines.
Book morning slots
Early departures are cooler, clearer and often less windy, improving comfort and safety on higher lines.

Conservation Note
Respect trails and guides’ instructions: operators minimize impact by confining platforms to existing clearings and encouraging ‘leave no trace’ practices.
Koh Samui’s economy historically centered on coconut and fishing; the island’s interior paths and plantations reflect that agricultural past while now hosting eco-adventure operators.
