The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning departures

Mornings are cooler and drier—pick the earliest pickup available to avoid heat and afternoon showers.

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers with good grip prevent slipping on platforms and during guided walks between lines.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a reusable water bottle; organizers usually provide a bottle at check‑in but start hydrated to reduce fatigue.

Check age and weight limits

Minimum age is 5, maximum recommended age is 60, and the weight limit is 120 kg—confirm these before booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Tan Rua waterfall pools below the course—a quiet spot for a quick cool‑off after your run
  • Tree Bridge Cafe viewpoint—arrive for late afternoon light and panoramic sea views often missed by busier beaches

Wildlife

  • Long‑tailed macaque (observed in canopy edges)
  • Tropical kingfishers and small passerine birds native to Samui

Conservation Note

Operators limit group sizes and maintain trails to reduce canopy damage; follow leave‑no‑trace principles, avoid feeding wildlife, and support operators that invest in replanting and waste management.

Koh Samui grew from coconut plantations and fishing settlements into a tourism hub in the late 20th century; many current outdoor operators trace roots to local families who guided in the interior valleys.
