Soar Over Phuket: Flying Hanuman Ziplines Adventure in the Kathu Jungle

The Experience
Before You Go
Weight & Age Limits
Max adult weight 120kg and children must be over 4 years old (≥20kg); staff weigh-check before harnessing—be honest for safety.
Footwear & Clothing
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip and quick-dry, non-baggy clothing to avoid snagging on harnesses or platforms.
Hydration & Heat
Bring a refillable water bottle and drink before and after lines—tropical heat hits harder once you’re moving fast.
Arrival & Pickup
Allow the operator’s 60-minute pre-departure pickup window from hotels; arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes early if self-driving.

Conservation Note
Flying Hanuman emphasizes minimal-drill platform construction to protect trees and works with local guides; visitors are encouraged to use refillable bottles and follow leave-no-trace principles.
The course sits on Phuket’s ancient granite hills—areas once cleared for rubber and fruit plantations that now form pockets of secondary rainforest.
Photographer's Notes
- • Highest platform for canopy-wide panoramas
- • Sky bridge mid-point for composition with lines and forest floor
- • Dual-zip launch for paired-action shots
