You may come to Koh Samui to experience the beach or relax with the attentive service of Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort or a similar luxury hotel. But a canopy ride through the lush forests of Koh Samui is worth taking a break from the sun and sands for!
Within easy reach of many Phangan resorts, canopy adventures at the Secret Falls of Koh Samui allows you to experience the forests in a completely new manner. If you are one for adventure and thrill, this is perfect for you. If you are not so much into adventure sports, this is picturesque enough that you can justify the presence of adventure. You will literally fly through the treetops of the forest, enjoying the greenery below, the blue skies above and the wind singing in your ears – all the while secure in the knowledge of a safety harness. You will also catch glimpses of the gorgeous coast line of Koh Samui, the famous sands and the beckoning waters. This is your opportunity to fly like the bird and truly see the holistic beauty of Koh Samui.
Half way through your canopy ride, you will arrive at a swimming hole – the famous Secret Falls – where you can relax, play in the waters and refresh for the next leg of your journey. Taking the curious visitors to the skies for a fun-filled ride since 2009, the canopy rides require no previous experience or special skill. An experienced guide will instruct you on what to do, and you can simply heed his/her words and enjoy the unspoilt wonders of the forest below. Maximum comfort is ensured on your ride, by having it proceed in four phases. Starting off with a gentle ride, each phase becomes gradually steeper and exhilarating, so that you are prepared to enjoy the ride as much as you would enjoy the lush picturesque world that you fly above.
