Flight of the Gibbon™ is a once in a lifetime adventure for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of ziplining in the 1500 year old rainforest jungles. Created by a bunch of guys keen to enable everyone access to the rainforest in the most exciting way possible.
Their unique system enables you to view jungle life from a perspective previously reserved for a select group of researchers. They take you high into the canopy using an ingenious series of Treehouses, platforms, cables, and sky bridges for an unbelievable adventure. For thrill seekers and nature lovers alike there has never been a better way to explore the tropical rainforest! A breathtaking eco-tourism activity that not only allows people to enter and experience the upper realm of a rainforest, but has also raised awareness to the plight and beauty of the world's endangered indigenous forests. The tour is designed to be easy for all visitors to descend along the downhill network, taking time to linger and relax at special places along the way and sharing the experience. Old growth rainforest has several layers, all of which can be seen on the tour. The promoters contribute 10% of our profits to the preservation of gibbons and other conservation projects. Flight of the Gibbon is no ordinary nature tour... The sheer joy of flight on a zip-line through jungle will have you laughing out loud with wild abandon. |
Included in Flight of the Gibbon package is a visit to the unique village of Mae Kompong where time has stood still.
Once a poppy growing area and a bastion of hill tribes, it is now home to a small community of forest dwellers who cultivate tea and coffee plantations. Experience the culture of the local people who are ready to show you the way of life from a bygone era. Hang out in the tea house and shoot the breeze or stay overnight and sample traditional cooking and crafts. Flight of the Gibbon package also included is a trip to the stunning Kompong falls where you can relax in the cool fresh water or take an optional trek deep into the forest. The pristine village of Mae Kompong lies just 45 minutes southeast of Chiang Mai. Neighbouring two national parks-the Jair Son Park and the Mae Dakrai National Park. With the little way of development the surrounding ecosystem remains incredibly intact and is recognized as a hotspot of biodiversity. At 1,300 m. above sea level this hill station is commonly 4-5 celcius degree cooler than Chiang Mai- what better way to cool down while you're having fun! It’s pure fun with a “thrill factor” that can’t be matched anywhere on the planet. |
Flight of the Gibbon is a full or half day tour including but not restricted to: about three hours in the canopy on cables and bridges, one hour trekking alongside Mae Kompong waterfall, about one hour having time for lunch and visiting the village. Add 45 minutes to one hour travel time each way. Standard duration is 7 hours from pick up time.
