Flight of the Gibbon: Fun for all ages and adventurers
If you’re a thrill-seeker or an adrenaline-junkie, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this amazing adventure through the jungles of Thailand. Swing from tree to tree like a monkey (or Tarzan) and see nature like never before with Thailand’s Flight of the Gibbon.
Fight of the Gibbon was created by a group of nature lovers who spent their weekends in the mountains of Thailand. While taking pictures, they came across gibbon remains left by poachers. The cruelty and injustice to these animals motivated them to make a difference, and thus came up with the idea of offering visitors zip line tours to earn funds used to protect and preserve all flora and fauna. The tour originally began in Chiang Mai. Due to its popularity, Flight of the Gibbon has expanded to Bangkok and Pattaya.
The zip line tours are a unique system of tree houses, platforms, cables, and sky bridges that will enable you to view the jungles of Thailand from all layers of the canopy. Working with various partners, Flight of the Gibbon offers multi-day package tours that combine their zip line adventure with safaris, rock climbing, white-water rafting, mountain biking, and trekking. You don’t even have to worry about accommodation because their packages come with either a hotel stay or an authentic homestay with the local hill tribes.
While there are other zip line operators in Thailand, Flight of the Gibbon has the longest zip line course in the country; over 2 kilometers of zip lining. You’ll be suspended 100 meters above ground and go through at least 30 stations. If you’re worried about your safety or just scared of heights, don’t be. Flight of the Gibbon maintains the highest safety standards using only the best, state-of-the-art equipment from Europe coupled with Sky Rangers and Guides fully trained in zip line instruction, wilderness skills, and first-aid to help you whenever the need arises. This eco-adventure is fun for children and adults of all ages; some adventurers are as young as 5 years old and as old as 95!
