Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the tour, but plan on around 7-9 hours door to door for our single day tours. This includes transportation, eating, getting geared up, and the ziplines. You are up in the treetops for several hours. We will get you back to the city in time to have a great dinner.

If you are in the Bangkok & Pattaya area, then yes. Our tours are located at the Khao Kheeo Open Safari and is not far and relatively easy to find. See the directions and map from Bangkok to Chonburi or map from Pattya to Chonburi.If you are in the Chiang Mai area we ask that you NOT drive to Maekampong. It is a small mountain village with small roads and very little parking. We take great measures in minimizing our impact there. In addition, the village heads have specifically requested guests to not drive themselves. We ask that you get picked up by one of our comfortable, VIP, air-con van.

Sorry, we cannot offer a discount for people driving themselves. See the directions and map from Bangkok to Chonburi or map from Pattya to Chonburi.

Yes please so not hesitate to contact us so that we can provide you some necessary information and also for further business.

We operate year-round. Monsoon season is one of our favourite times of year, many people have the misconception that it rains continuous heavy downpours for months on end - the truth is quite different. We experience short bursts of heavy rain but generally in the afternoon or evening when the course is closed. We like this time of year because the air is fresh and crisp and all the plant life is blooming...If it should look like rain during a flight, we still go for it and it can add to the fun. There is rainwear available on request.

Absolutely. There is not a minimum age but we do have a minimum height of 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) tall to fit in the harness properly. Young children are often taken in tandem with a guide.

There are no discounts for children as although we love to have them - they often require extra care from our staff. But this is definitely a family-friendly adventure

Very safe. You are led by experienced guides who ensure you are properly connected to the safety equipment at all times. We are the only canopy adventure in Thailand designed, built and overseen by international experts from New Zealand with more than 20 years of experience. We spend considerable time and money for ongoing guide safety training.

We do not recommend it, primarily because you are in a harness.

The maximum weight we allow is 130 kg (286 lbs). However, our zip lines and rigging systems are engineered to hold much more than this and greatly exceed international standards.

Our usual group size is 6-7 people which most people find comfortable. We have a maximum limit of 9 per group.

 
Please bring a pair of shoes that do not easily fall off. If you must wear sandals, we will strap them onto your feet. Backpacks and sunglasses are an unnecessary burden and there are storage facilities in the office when you arrive.

There is no need to bring a camera to our Chiang Mai location because we have installed a new Flight of the Gibbon Adventure Picture system on our zipline course there.  The system is state of the art and will captures photos of you at various locations during your flight. You can view and purchase them very reasonably right after your experience with several options to choose from. You can also rent a GoPro, HD video camera to capture the whole experience. You can either wear it on your helmet or have a Sky Ranger wear it capturing every person in your group. Each group will receive a complimentary photo by providing an email address. The system is not available at our Chonburi location yet.

However, if you do bring your camera, that's fine, just remember it must be secure while flying like everything else you carry.

And Don't forget to bring an open mind and a smile…

About 70-80 meters at the highest. The 1st and 2nd platforms we created to ease the fear in people's hearts. Most people, even the people with a great fear of heights, feel comfortable a bit after they start. The views, the safety equipment and the professional guides all help.

It's exciting, but not physically demanding. The Go Gibbon experience requires more agility and fitness, but most people should be fine. Please see our video to get a sense of what is required.
