Unleash your inner Tarzan and take to the trees. Few things are as thrilling as zooming through the treetops on a zipline and fortunately Chiang Mai is home to several companies that offer incredible experiences. Here you’ll not only zip from tree to tree but cross over bridges suspended high in the air, drop straight down to the ground, go on nature walks, enjoy stunning panoramic views and sometimes even visit waterfalls, wildlife and more. Operators offer a variety of trips at different times throughout the day with longer excursions including lunch and all including hotel transfers. Whichever company you go with, you’re in for a good time and memorable experience as you sway in Chiang Mai’s old growth trees, take in the tropical jungle landscape, soar through the sky and feel what it’s like to truly fly. A great activity for friends, couple or families, all you need to do is show up in comfortable clothing and sturdy outdoor shoes your experienced guides will take care of the rest and get you outfitted with the necessary equipment and gear to start zipping through the jungle. After your daring flights, chances are you’ll receive a complimentary souvenir T-shirt to prove bravery.
