The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Sneakers with good grip are required—no sandals; they keep you safe on platforms and the 20-minute jungle approach.

Secure your camera

Use a wrist or chest tether for phones and small cameras; action shots are great but a dropped device can’t be retrieved easily.

Hydrate and snack beforehand

Although water and fruit are provided, drink well before the tour to avoid lightheadedness between runs.

Tell staff about medical concerns

Declare any heart, back or pregnancy issues when booking—operators require this for safety and insurance compliance.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Bang Pae Waterfall and the nearby Gibbon Rehabilitation Project for a quieter nature visit
  • Kathu viewpoints for quick panoramas of central Phuket away from the coast

Wildlife

  • hornbills

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize low-impact routes, secure waste disposal and hire local guides; follow staff instructions to minimize disturbance to wildlife.

The course crosses secondary rainforest and land once dominated by rubber and fruit plantations; tourism has become a key livelihood as tapping waned in recent decades.
