The Samui Cable Car - Extreme Flights Over the Jungle

The Samui Cable Car is a great fun and extreme experience for those with a constant lack of adrenaline in their blood. For the sake of it alone, it is worth a visit to this island. The total length of all trails more than 9 kilometers and 50 intermediate stations (platforms), varying in length and degree of extreme. Gliding on a cable over the rainforest is an opportunity to see all sorts of exotic beauty from a bird’s eye view.

11 platforms, 850 meters

The Samui Cable Car is not just for adults. Teenagers as young as 10 years old are offered the simplest, but rather fascinating route of 850 meters between eleven stations. Maximum adrenaline and excitement with minimal risk. This cableway is quite low, so during the adventure you can see the peculiarities of life in the rainforest in the smallest detail. The cost of the tour is from 1700 baht.

21 platforms, 2000 meters

The cable car is built in the mountains of South Samui. It is the standard and most complete version of the adventure, chosen by the most active tourists.

This attraction is the first in Southeast Asia to offer a bird’s eye view of the rainforest world. Its length is about two thousand meters. Everyone who is at least 12 years old is allowed on the track. The cost of the tour is from 2,700 baht.
