Owner description: Flight of the Gibbon is a unique zipline and nature adventure experience that lets you "fly" through our premier location deep within the pristine, 1,500-year old rainforest. After a short hike into the scenic rainforest, our friendly Sky Rangers safely lead you through 24 platforms, sky bridges and lowering stations that connect 7 km of ziplines. Discover firsthand the beauty of the rainforest ecosystem and experience flying with our namesake gibbons. Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Flight of the Gibbon is proud of and active in rainforest restoration and primate rehabilitation projects in the area.

Waiting to walk up to our first Zip-Line Station. L-t-R: E&S Meeker, E&S Moleff, and E&S Seppi. When we got to the station, our guide had us check our legs for leeches. Elder Meeker had one on his leg and when the guide took it off there was blood. He disinfected it and put a bandage on. After all we are in the jungle. |

Walking up the hill to our station. The hardest part was the climb up the hill. |

Our Sky Rangers gave us safety briefings, were very professional, and gave us an enjoyable adventure with Zip-Lining. They made the day for us. |
