Fly the Phuket Canopy: Hanuman World Rainforest Zipline Adventure
Soar above Phuket’s rainforest at Hanuman World—choose from 10, 18 or 32-platform courses and ride long, exposed ziplines that slice through the canopy. This practical guide covers what to expect, safety rules, and how to prepare.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early for Briefing
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start to complete safety briefings and kit fitting without rushing.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Sturdy trainers with grip are required for platforms and short trail approaches between lines.
Hydrate and Eat Light
Bring water and a light snack—avoid a heavy meal right before runs; buffet lunch is included with some packages.
Secure Small Items
Use a chest-mounted camera or leave phones in a locker—loose items are not allowed on most ziplines.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Short forest trail near the lower platforms where early-morning birdcalls are abundant
- •Wanon Zone viewpoint—small terrace next to the buffet that overlooks cultivated valleys at midday
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaque
- •Variegated squirrel
Conservation Note
Hanuman World limits new trail cutting and concentrates platforms on existing clearings; visitors should avoid feeding wildlife and pack out all trash to reduce impact.
The park borrows its name and thematic cues from the Ramakien epic; modern zipline tourism in Phuket developed as an inland complement to the island’s beach economy over the last two decades.
Photographer's Notes
- • Top launch platform for panoramic island views
- • Mid-course platform where cables run over a valley
- • Wanon Zone terrace near lunch area for landscape shots
