The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Bring grippy trainers or light hiking shoes—open sandals won’t be permitted and reduce your comfort on ladders and climbs.

Hydrate before you go

Tropical heat and exertion add up—drink water at pickup and sip between runs; supplements provided but bring a reusable bottle if you prefer.

Arrive early for briefing

Be at your hotel lobby 15 minutes before pickup to ensure time for fitting and training; late arrivals can miss the first rotations.

Know health & weight limits

Maximum weight ~120 kg and ages 5–70; if you have back, neck or cardiovascular issues skip or consult a doctor first.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short hike to Railay West viewpoint for a panoramic lookout
  • Coastal viewpoint near Ao Nammao for late-afternoon light on karst silhouettes

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Tropical kingfishers and other forest birds

Conservation Note

Operators limit group sizes and follow established routes to reduce erosion; avoid feeding wildlife, pack out waste and stick to marked platforms to protect fragile limestone flora.

Krabi’s dramatic karst towers are uplifted ancient coral formations shaped by sea-level change and erosion; they’ve been focal points for fishing communities and rock climbers for decades.
