A bird flies carefree from tree to tree; the wind crushes across its face as it spans views that we can only imagine. You watch Tarzan and envy his artistic skill of flying from mountain to mountain and enjoying the experience of a bird even for an instance. In Phuket the ecstatic fantasy of feeling like a bird actually becomes reality in its very famous cable jungle adventures. While you are safely strapped to a cable you are actually able to ‘fly’ through the jungle enjoying sceneries you have never seen before and a taste of this world like you have never experienced before.
The cable jungle adventure is a highlight in the city that brings to you a package of fun and excitement. It is edgy enough to give you that full blown adrenaline kick yet safe enough to sail through this activity without even the slightest fear of dropping down. There are 15 stations in total each with a different level of intensity. Heights vary from 6 to 1200 meters and you can choose the drop depending on your threshold for heights. The entire setting is seated in the heart of the forest; the most perfect lay out to watch the world from the eyes of the bird. The technique behind the Jungle Cable Adventure is just as interesting as the adventure itself. The participant is actually strapped in harnesses as you glide with the aid of a pulley attached to cables that are connected from tree to tree. The best part about the cable Jungle Adventure is that it is open for the whole family. Seven years of age is old enough to enjoy this activity that is nothing but pure fun. You don’t need a training course to soar through the jungles of Phuket; just an introductory briefing where you can practice a few brake techniques from a test cable and then you are good to go.
For all you adventure lovers, a sports hotel Thailand has, is your place to stay and who wouldn’t like a sports hotel touched with luxury. In Thanyapura, you can enjoy the best of both worlds as it is a renowned luxury boutique hotel in Phuket.
