The Experience

Before You Go

Book an early slot

Morning departures are cooler and drier with fewer midges; aim for the 8:00 am playtime if you prefer less heat.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers with grip protect your feet on platforms and short forest approaches.

Secure small items

Use a zippered pocket or leave phones in the transfer vehicle — loose items can be lost on ziplines.

Hydrate before you go

Bring water or drink at pickup — the course provides bottled water but you’ll be happier starting hydrated.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Arrive early to visit a nearby viewpoint above the course for a quieter outlook across inland Phuket.
  • Check for local fruit stalls near pickup points — seasonal rambutan or mangosteen are often available after the tour.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Great hornbill (occasional)

Conservation Note

Respect trails, avoid feeding wildlife and pack out litter; choose operators that maintain gear and follow local safety and environmental guidelines.

The inland hills of Phuket transition from former rubber and tin-era lands to mixed forest; eco-adventures like Flying Hanuman are part of a recent shift toward nature-based tourism.
