The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Trainers or hiking shoes with good grip are essential for platform landings and short jungle walks.

Respect the weight limit

Maximum participant weight is 120 kg; staff enforce this for safety — check before booking if in doubt.

Arrive 20 minutes early

Check-in and fitting take time; arriving early ensures you don’t miss the safety briefing and practice run.

Prepare for sun and sudden rain

Bring sunscreen and a light rain shell; tropical showers can start quickly and platforms stay exposed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • The dual-zipline finish creates dramatic photo opportunities with riders side-by-side against the forest rim
  • Nearby jungle trails around Kathu offer short waterfall visits after your run, good for a cool-down dip

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Variety of tropical birds such as hornbills and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators use minimal drilling and anchored platforms to reduce tree damage; visitors are encouraged to avoid litter and respect guided paths to protect understorey vegetation.

The course was designed to minimize impact on mature trees, reflecting a growing eco-tourism trend in Phuket that balances adventure with forest conservation.
