The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for cooler runs

Morning slots have calmer winds and softer light, which makes long ziplines safer and more comfortable.

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Stairs and sky bridges can be slippery; trail runners or hiking shoes are best.

Secure cameras and loose items

Bring a small dry bag or tether for phones — operators often require devices to be clipped or bagged.

Disclose medical conditions

Notify the operator of any back, heart, or pregnancy concerns; the activity is not recommended for those conditions.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Top platform near the ridge offers a quiet outlook over inland Phuket — bring binoculars for birdwatching.
  • Combine the visit with a short drive to Kathu Waterfall for a cooling dip after your run.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Hornbills

Conservation Note

Platforms and cables are installed to minimize tree damage; visitors are asked not to feed wildlife and to follow guide instructions to reduce disturbance.

Hanuman World is part of Phuket’s shift into adventure and eco-tourism; the park is sited in secondary rainforest regenerating after past agricultural use.
