The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers with a good tread keep you secure on platforms and forest approaches; sandals are not allowed for safety.

Secure cameras and phones

Use a wrist or chest lanyard or leave loose items in provided storage — dropped gear can’t be retrieved from lines.

Hydrate before you go

Three hours in humid tropical heat adds up; drink water before arrival and use provided soft drinks after runs.

Disclose medical conditions

Inform guides of any spine, heart or pregnancy-related issues — operators will refuse participation where safety is a concern.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Jungle cafe near the lower waterfall — a quieter spot for a post-run drink away from beach crowds
  • Short walk to a viewpoint on the ridge that gives panoramic views of the east coast at low humidity mornings

Wildlife

  • White‑bellied sea eagle (seen from ridgelines)
  • Asian koel and bulbuls in the canopy

Conservation Note

Responsible operators limit tree attachments and use established platforms to reduce canopy impact; stick to marked paths and avoid littering to protect fragile watershed streams.

Koh Samui’s interior shifted from coconut and rubber plantations to tourism over recent decades, with many canopy courses routed along old plantation tracks and natural ridgelines.
