The Experience

Before You Go

Morning bookings are cooler

Choose early departures to avoid the midday heat and to get crisper views through the canopy.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers with tread protect your feet on platforms and during short approaches.

Secure small items

Use a small chest harness or leave loose cameras and phones with your group — items can snag or fall.

Hydrate before arrival

Bring a refillable water bottle; tropical humidity ups your hydration needs even for short activities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short walk to a hilltop viewpoint near the course for island panoramas
  • Kathu Waterfall (Ton Sai) is a nearby seasonal waterfall worth a quick stop after your visit

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Great hornbill and other forest birds

Conservation Note

Hanuman World emphasizes low-impact platforms and tree-friendly anchors; visitors are asked to stick to paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use refillable bottles to reduce waste.

Phuket’s inland hills were shaped by ancient granite and sedimentary processes; the island’s economy shifted from tin and rubber to tourism, bringing new uses for these forests.
