The Experience

Before You Go

Secure loose items

Use a wrist strap or leave phones and sunglasses in the shuttle — anything dropped from height is unrecoverable.

Wear flat-soled shoes

Closed-toe sneakers with flat soles make stair climbs and platform work safer and more comfortable.

Hydrate before arrival

Bring a small water bottle; light refreshments are provided but humidity increases exertion and dehydration risk.

Plan for weather

Monsoon showers can close lines at short notice—schedule early in your stay so you can rebook if needed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kathu Waterfall (Ton Sai) for a cool post-zipline swim
  • Laem Singh viewpoint for a quieter coastal outlook at sunset

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Tropical hornbills and assorted canopy birds

Conservation Note

Operators typically limit group sizes and use established platforms to reduce forest impact; avoid feeding wildlife and take all trash back to hotels.

The island’s interior was shaped by granite outcrops and a tin-mining past; many inland tracks follow old service roads used during those eras.
