Phuket Rainforest Zipline at Cape Panwa — Xtreme Zipline & Treetop Challenges
Fly over mangrove channels and test your balance on swinging bridges at Cape Panwa’s high-adrenaline zipline. Choose a full Xtreme course or a shorter program—both include transfers, certified gear, and expert guides.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed, flat-soled shoes
Flat-sole sneakers provide traction on platforms and bridges; no sandals allowed for safety reasons.
Hydrate before and after
Bring a refillable water bottle — sessions can be hot and guides provide drinking water and seasonal fruit afterwards.
Know the limits
Maximum weight is 120 kg and children under 6 cannot participate; arrive on time to avoid being marked a no-show.
Choose your session wisely
Morning slots are cooler and better for photos; afternoon sessions can be hotter but may fit a tight schedule.

Conservation Note
Operators work to minimize canopy impact and follow seasonal closures during sensitive breeding periods; guests are asked not to disturb wildlife or leave litter.
Cape Panwa has long been a coastal hub for fishing communities; timber and sea routes helped shape early settlement patterns before tourism expanded in the 20th century.
