The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for kit fitting

Be at the meeting point 30 minutes before your scheduled slot to complete weights, harness fitting and a full safety briefing without feeling rushed.

Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants

Trails between platforms can be muddy or have low branches—sturdy shoes and long pants protect you during transfers and launches.

Bring a small, secure camera

Action shots on the roller and launch platforms are best—use a strap or chest-mounted camera and ask guides for help timing shots.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Tropical heat amplifies exertion—carry a refillable bottle if you can and use provided bottled water at stations.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kathu Waterfall (Ton Sai) for a quick cool-off after your session
  • Big Buddha viewpoint for panoramic island photos away from main beaches

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Great hornbill (occasionally)

Conservation Note

Hanuman World highlights low-impact canopy structures and limits ground disturbance; visitors should stick to platforms and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce human-wildlife conflict.

The park name and imagery reference Hanuman from the Ramayana, echoing Thai adaptations of regional myth; inland Phuket also has a history of rubber and tin that shaped today’s forest patches.
