The zipline on Koh Samui

Zipline on Koh Samui — nine lines through the jungle canopy

The course

The zipline course sits in the north of Koh Samui and runs nine separate lines, about 1,500 metres of cable in total, through and above the jungle canopy.

The ride takes roughly an hour, station to station, with trained instructors sending riders off from each platform and PETZL climbing equipment throughout.

Afterwards there is around half an hour at the tree house, a drink included, and a waterfall within walking distance for anyone who wants to cool off before the drive back.

Getting there and booking

The activity runs three times a day and takes about two hours from pickup to drop-off. Transport from accommodation on Koh Samui is included, in an open off-road jeep or an SUV.

A handful of areas in the far south and west carry a surcharge, and a few areas can normally only take the late-morning departure.

Riders aged 10 and over go on their own, children from 5 ride with a member of staff, and the equipment has a 120 kg weight limit.

The booking can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the date, and closes at 23:59 two days ahead, Thailand time.

The limits, up front

Not buried at the bottom. All of it comes from the operator's own conditions, and all of it is checked on the day rather than at the point of booking — which is the worst possible moment to find out.

  • Minimum age 10 to ride aloneFrom 5 years, children go on the line together with a member of staff. Below that, no.
  • Maximum weight 120 kgA fixed limit of the equipment, not a judgement. There is no way around it on the day.
  • Not recommended in pregnancyThe operator advises against it, and we pass that on rather than leave you to decide at the harness.
  • Some areas cost extra to reachPickups from Hua Thanon, Thong Krut, Taling Ngam, Lipa Noi, Nathon and Bang Por carry a surcharge each way. The shop shows it before you pay.
  • Lamai, Bantai, Bang Por and Khoa Laem YaiOnly the late-morning departure is normally available from there; in low season the other two often are as well.
  • Driving yourself is possible but not advisedThe course is up a mountain road. If you do come on your own, a truck or a four-wheel drive is what you want — say so when you book.
