Flying Hanuman Phuket: 42-Platform Zipline & Canopy Adventure with Transfers

Fly through Phuket’s forested hills on a 42-platform canopy course that combines fast ziplines, skybridges and abseils with round-trip transfers and a set meal. Practical, guided and built to European safety standards, it’s a high-adrenaline way to see the island’s inland greenery.

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes improve traction on platforms and the 20-minute walk to the first line.

Mind the weight limit

Maximum participant weight is 120 kg — operators enforce this for safety and harness fit.

Bring insect repellent

Tropical forest sections can be buggy, especially after rain—apply repellent before arrival.

Secure small cameras

Action cameras may be allowed but must be tethered and approved by guides — check before clipping in.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Take the short 20-minute walk pre-course to hear more birdlife and spot forest streams away from the platforms.
  • Ask guides about local flora — many native trees marked along paths are tied to traditional uses and island ecology.

Wildlife

  • Green pigeons or hornbills (occasional)
  • Monitor lizards or tree-dwelling geckos

Conservation Note

The operator minimizes drilling into trees and mounts platforms externally where possible; visitors are encouraged to avoid littering and stay on marked trails to protect understory regeneration.

The course sits inland of Phuket’s coastal settlements; the island’s interior has long been shaped by small-scale tin mining and Malay-Chinese cultural influences that predate modern tourism.
