This is a blast. It is a very remote location and they do a fantastic job. It was our first zipline experience and was very exciting. The guides spent a lot of time on safety and had a ton of interesting information about the forest. Dont miss this one.

I think that the tree-top ziplines are fun no matter what country you do it in. But this particular zipline operation takes you through many zipline platforms.

DO NOT pay the advertised price of 1920 BHT on their website. In Chiang Mai you can negotiate the price of many excursions, including this one. We had to find that out the hard way. You can also find cheaper prices by merely 'shopping' around different hotels or tour centers.

We booked this excursion for 1920 BHT through our hotel. When we arrived at the Flight of the Gibbon 'office' to pay, they look up your name on a list to see the cost your committed to. We got a good look at the list and saw different prices for different people. We also saw the names of the hotel employees/booking agents who book your tours.....so they get a nice, juicy commission from whatever inflated price they sell it to you for.

I see a recent entry on this site indicates you can pay as little as 1575 BHT. Keep this in mind!

Flight of the Gibbon - It was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Thailand. Excellent Lunch included in the price of 1850 baht (we negotiated through another tour group we went on the day before) - Beautiful rainforest view located in the a lovely village straight out of a movie; Awesome waterfall to hike to; Safe Guides: Always hooked onto a cable line at all times. Prompt pickup at our hotel; about a 50 min scenic drive to the mountains. We had 2 guides (Jaboo & Mr. Bea) who were very safety concious and made it a lot of fun!

Went to the jungles of Chiang Mai to try this activity on the back of a friends recommendation.

After being picked up about 10.30am, we were taken by minibus up to the hills about 2 hours ago. lovely views along the way.

In the afternoon, we divided our time into a mini-trek to an average waterfall in the area, lunch (which was very basic), and then about 2 hours of actual ziplining. In terms of the last of these, staff were extremely friendly, good-natured and safety concious. Not once did I or any of my group feel any risk of injury - everyone is strapped to safety lines by two seperate stages of harness.

The platforms between each line are quite small - so I was very glad that 3 of our potential group of nine didn't show up.. make sure you book for a small a group as possible.

Some of the ziplines are a bit short, but the longer and higher ones are genuinely noteworthy.

If you want to try a different kind of activity in a beautiful setting, this is the one for you.
