Ultimate Koh Samui Zipline: 16–18 Platform Jungle & Sea Flight
Soar across 16–18 platforms above Koh Samui’s rainforest and shoreline—this two-hour zipline pairs sharp climbs, long flights, and panoramic sea views. Read on for what to expect, safety rules, and the best times to go.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trainers or hiking shoes give grip on the ladders and landings; no sandals or flip-flops are permitted on the course.
Pack light or leave valuables
Loose items (phones, wallets, cameras) aren’t allowed on lines—use a tether if you must take a camera or leave items at your hotel.
Time it for cooler wind
Mid-morning or late afternoon usually has calmer winds and softer light for photos—avoid midday heat when possible.
Know the weight and age limits
Participants must be 6–60 years old and under 110 kg (242 lbs); the limit is enforced for safety and equipment integrity.

Conservation Note
Operators often limit group sizes and maintain marked trails to reduce erosion; visitors should avoid leaving waste and follow guide instructions to protect fragile understory and bird habitat.
Koh Samui developed from fishing and coconut farming into a tourist destination in the late 20th century; adventure operators now use inland ridges carved by ancient volcanic activity.
