Sky Hawk Zipline Chiang Mai: Treetop Zipline Adventure & Sky Bridges
Launch yourself from treetop platforms, cross swaying sky bridges and eat lunch under the canopy—Sky Hawk Zipline near Chiang Mai mixes high-speed zips with measured viewpoints across forested ridges. This practical guide covers what to expect, how to prepare and local context to help you make the most of the day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Choose sturdy sneakers or trail shoes—open sandals are not allowed and slippery soles make launches and landings harder.
Secure small electronics
Use a wrist or chest strap for your phone or camera; loose devices are a fall risk and are often not allowed on longer ziplines.
Hydrate and eat light
Bring a water bottle and eat a light breakfast—sessions last about 3–4 hours and there’s often a lunch break onsite.
Check weight/height limits
Participants must be at least 120 cm tall and under the park weight limit (~115 kg); disclose medical conditions when booking.

Conservation Note
The park runs guided groups to limit off-trail impact and supplies professional harnessing to reduce vegetation damage; visitors should avoid leaving waste and follow guide instructions to protect the canopy.
