The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Bring a reusable water bottle—guides will schedule short water breaks but tropical heat depletes you fast.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Secure, grippy shoes keep you comfortable on platforms and during short trail sections between ziplines.

Expect rain windows

Afternoon tropical showers are common—schedule morning slots for drier flying and clearer views.

Declare medical constraints

Tell the operator about recent injuries, pregnancy or heart conditions; some conditions disqualify participation.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kathu Waterfall (a short drive) for a cool post-tour swim
  • A small local market near central Kathu where seasonal fruit is sold by the kilo

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Tropical hornbills and other canopy birds

Conservation Note

Flying Hanuman operates as an eco-adventure with SHA Plus certification and emphasizes minimal-impact platforms, controlled group sizes and local reforestation efforts to reduce visitor footprint.

The site takes its name from Hanuman and is part of Phuket’s push to diversify tourism inland; the course was designed to minimize tree removal and showcase forest habitat.
