The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive 30 minutes early

Check-in, harness fitting and a safety briefing take time; arriving early ensures you don’t miss your slot and lets guides size you for gear.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Trainers with good grip are essential for platforms, staircases and the short wilderness walk—no sandals or slip-ons.

Secure loose items

Use pockets with zippers or operator-provided camera mounts—phones, sunglasses and hats can’t be held while zipping.

Book a morning slot

Heat and humidity rise by midafternoon; mornings offer cooler air, better light and fewer tour-group crowds.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Morning walk-up to the surrounding ridge for a quieter jungle outlook and birdwatching.
  • Nearby village stalls selling freshly squeezed coconut water—perfect after the course.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (spot from a distance)
  • Tropical birds such as kingfishers and bulbuls

Conservation Note

The park emphasizes low-impact construction in the canopy and uses local guides; visitors should stick to trails, avoid feeding wildlife and use reef-safe sunscreen to limit environmental impact.

Phuket’s interior once supported tin mining and rubber cultivation; the island’s inland tracks and small communities retain maps of that working past.
