For the high flyer: Thailand
Feel the rush of the jungle breeze as you soar through the trees à la Tarzan — just an hour away from the major cities of Bangkok, Pattaya or Chiang Mai. The Flight of the Gibbon is a unique rainforest tour where visitors can zipline between treetop platforms, accompanied by sky ranger guides trained to spot wildlife while mid-air.
These tours offer kilometres of rappelling adventures, with an added focus on the conservation of local animals on a safari tour, as well as a village homestay. Ten per cent of Flight of the Gibbon’s profits goes towards protecting the endangered gibbon.
Flight of the Gibbon also has zipline tours in Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand, and Siem Reap, Cambodia.
