Soar Through Phuket's Forest: Hanuman World Zipline Adventure Guide
Race along suspended lines through Phuket’s forest on a combined zipline course at Hanuman World. Choose from three package lengths, meet local guides, and cross sky bridges and 10–32 platforms during a 3–4 hour adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Mind the weight and health limits
Operators enforce a 40–120 kg limit and restrict participants with heart, spine, pregnancy or age-related concerns—check before booking.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long socks
Sturdy sneakers and long socks protect ankles and prevent harness chafing during climbs and rappels.
Bring a small, secure camera
Light action cameras on chest mounts work best—loose straps are not allowed and phones may be restricted on some lines.
Start early to avoid heat and rain
Morning slots are cooler and less likely to be interrupted by tropical showers, improving comfort and visibility.
