Flying Hanuman Phuket: High-Canopy Zipline Adventure with Meal

Flying Hanuman Phuket: High-Canopy Zipline Adventure with Meal

Trade sand for canopy: Flying Hanuman ziplines thread Phuket’s wooded hills with long cables, sky bridges and abseils, offering two course options, a meal, and trained staff. Ideal for travelers who want an adrenaline hit away from the beach — book morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid the heat.

The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning or late-afternoon slots

Early or late start times reduce heat and maximize visibility for photos; midday runs can be hot and humid.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

Traction is important for stairways and the short wilderness walk between platforms.

Mind the weight limit

Maximum guest weight is 120 kg — confirm before booking to avoid issues at check-in.

Pack small essentials

Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and a small camera — larger backpacks aren’t practical on the course.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a local hillside stall after your run for grilled seafood and tropical fruit.
  • Visit a nearby small monastery early morning to see monks’ alms rounds and local life.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Tropical birds such as hornbills and barbets

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize low-impact routes and trained guides to reduce disturbance; visitors should stick to paths and avoid littering to protect the forest.

Phuket’s interior was historically a tin-mining and rubber-growing region — communities here evolved around hillside mines and plantations rather than the coast.
