The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a small daypack

Carry water, sunscreen, and your camera in a compact pack—loose items can be lost on ziplines.

Wear closed-toe shoes with grip

Expect ladder climbs and slippery platforms; trainers or hiking shoes are best.

Check the weight and age limits

Participants must be 5–70 years old with a maximum weight of 120 kg—declare weight at booking.

Plan for tropical weather

Tours can be canceled or rescheduled in heavy rain—book flexible travel around your zipline date.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Climb to a viewpoint platform near Zip Zone A for a quieter panorama of limestone pinnacles.
  • Stop at Ao Nam Mao Pier before or after for fresh seafood stalls frequented by locals.

Wildlife

  • White-handed gibbon
  • Tree-dwelling hornbill

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize minimal-impact routes and use existing mature trees for platforms; stick to guides’ instructions and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce disturbance.

Krabi’s karst towers are ancient marine limestone uplifted and sculpted over millions of years; coastal villages here evolved around fishing and maritime trade long before tourism did.
