The Experience

Before You Go

Morning bookings beat the heat

Book the earliest slot to avoid midday heat and to catch softer light at panoramic seaview points.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes improve control on platforms and the ATV trail.

Secure loose items

Use helmet straps and zip pockets—phones and sunglasses can be lost on ziplines or while riding ATVs.

Hydrate before you start

Tropical humidity raises exertion—drink water before and after the course; bottled water is usually provided.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small panoramic seaview points along the course for quiet sunrise photos
  • A short post-ride trail to a local lookout where fishermen and rubber trees frame the coastline

Wildlife

  • White-handed gibbon (heard more often than seen)
  • Tropical birds such as hornbills and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators typically minimize tree drilling and use external anchors to protect trunk health; stick to trails and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and disturbance.

The island’s interior supplied tin and rubber in the 19th–20th centuries; many trails follow old plantation tracks and ridge routes used by local communities.
