The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Platform surfaces and short walks include ladders and uneven forest trails—closed-toe sneakers or trail shoes protect toes and improve grip.

Hydrate before and after zips

Tropical heat and the adrenaline rush drain fluids—drink water at pickup and after the course; bottled water is provided.

Follow guide safety briefings

Guides control harness connections and braking—listen closely at every station, especially for abseil and dual-zip procedures.

Pack insect repellent and sun protection

Short jungle walks expose you to sun and mosquitoes—apply repellent and sunscreen before arrival.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short coastline viewpoint near the southern platforms for unobstructed karst-island views
  • Post-activity local fishing village stalls where vendors sell fresh fruit and hand-made snacks

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Varied kingfishers and small forest birds

Conservation Note

Operators typically route platforms to minimize tree damage and limit group sizes—stick to paths, avoid feeding wildlife and support local guides to keep impacts low.

Ko Yao Yai has long been a fishing and rubber-farming community; its limestone islands are part of Phang Nga’s karst formations shaped over millions of years by sea and monsoon.
