Chiang Mai: Zipline & High Rope Park with Lunch & Transfer
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Phoenix Adventure Park · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Jungle lines and farm animals in one hit. Phoenix Adventure Park near Mae Rim mixes zipline thrills (or higher rope obstacles) with an easy, family-friendly rhythm, plus an included meal and animal time. I especially love the French-import safety gear and the fact you can tailor the day to your comfort level with clear challenge packages.
Two things I like a lot: you get trained, guided support on the course, and the day doesn’t end at adrenaline—you’ll also ride a tiny train through a flower field and sheep farm, with chances to feed animals afterward. One drawback to think about first: this is real height-and-physical activity, so it’s not a fit for people afraid of heights or with certain medical conditions.

Phoenix Adventure Park: Why This Combo Works in Chiang Mai

If you’re craving something more exciting than temples for a half-day, this is a strong option. The park gives you a full adventure dose—ziplining or climbing—and then brings you back down to earth with animals, a cafe break, and a simple animal-farm add-on.
What makes it feel like better value than a basic zipline is the shape of the day. You don’t just rush through a few runs and leave. Instead, you get a structured course (with proper equipment and guides), an included meal, and those farm-style stops that give your group time to reset.
I also like that the staff operate with both English and Thai, so you won’t be left guessing what to do next. Between the safety briefing, the glove-and-equipment handoff, and the guides watching your progress, the day has a “you’re in good hands” feel.

Choosing Your Package: Zipline A vs B, High Rope Small to All-In

This park is built around options. You don’t have to commit to max difficulty unless you want to.
Zipline Program: two clear levels
- Program A: 10 challenges
- Program B: 24 challenges
If you want a shorter, more relaxed experience, Program A is the obvious move. One of the most useful things I learned from actual experiences is that Program A can feel like a quick, energizing burst—often working out to about half an hour of ziplining time—while still pairing with the rest of the day (meal, cafe downtime, and the animal portion).
High Rope Course: small, medium, or full challenge
- Small: 20 challenges
- Medium: 25 challenges
- All in: 45 obstacles
The high rope options are more of a “climb-and-cross” workout. You’ll be on your feet more and moving through more elements, so choose based on stamina and comfort. If you’re confident you’ll handle the physical side, going from small to all-in is a straightforward way to scale difficulty without switching providers or finding a separate tour.
My practical advice: If it’s your first time on any kind of high ropes, start with small or medium. You’ll still get the thrill, but you won’t spend your whole energy on just figuring out balance and rhythm.
The 4-Hour Flow: Pickup, Safety, Activity, and the Farm Stops

This is a compact tour—about 4 hours total—so the schedule is designed to move efficiently. You’ll get hotel pickup and drop-off, plus admission and your chosen zipline or high rope package.
A typical flow looks like this:

1) Pickup from your hotel lobby
You’ll want to be ready 10–15 minutes before the pickup time. Transport is a shared ride, so the vehicle has scheduled departure and return times. That means even if your internal program differs slightly from another group, the van timing is still fixed. Also note: traffic can make pickup slightly late.
2) Arrival and course setup
Once you arrive at Phoenix Adventure Park, you’ll be kitted out and guided through what you need to do. The park supplies new gloves and uses a safety-first approach with guides who support you from start to finish.
One thing I appreciate: the equipment details matter here. You’re not just told to be careful—you’re using a system built around a triple safety setup and gear imported from France.
3) Zipline or high rope time
This is the core of the visit. You’ll go through the number of challenges tied to your package (10 or 24 for zipline; 20/25/45 for high rope).
If you chose a shorter zipline package, you may find you have more downtime to watch others finish, relax in the cafe, and enjoy the atmosphere instead of feeling rushed.
4) Included meal and break time
You get a delicious meal included in the price. In practice, this works like a good “reset button” between the more intense moments and the lighter farm activities.
5) Tiny train through flowers and the sheep farm
After the main action, you’ll ride a tiny train that passes through a flower field and a sheep farm. It’s not just scenery—it’s part of why the day feels complete instead of one-note.
6) Feeding fish and sheep
Toward the end, you’ll have the chance to feed fish and sheep, which adds a hands-on, kid-friendly element. Even if you’re there for adrenaline, this is a nice contrast. It shifts the day from fast movement to calm interaction.
7) Drop-off back to your hotel
After the final part of the program, you’ll be returned to your hotel. Again, because it’s shared transport, your exact return is tied to van schedules.
Safety You Can Actually Feel: Guides, French Gear, and Triple Protection

Adventure parks can vary wildly in how they handle safety. What’s strong here is the focus on gear and guided support.
You’ll get:
- New gloves
- Equipment imported from France
- A triple safety system (COUDOU Pro)
- English and Thai-speaking staff
- First aid insurance
That combination matters because it changes how you experience the day. With solid equipment and guides working closely, you spend less time worrying whether something will hold—and more time focusing on doing the next step cleanly.
There’s also a clear “follow instructions” culture. The park expects you to listen carefully to guides and stick to safety rules. Do that, and the experience is much more enjoyable.
Lunch and Animal Time: The Smart Part for Families (and Tired Adults)

If you’re traveling with kids—or if you’re just smart about not over-scheduling yourself—this mix is genuinely useful.
The adventure portion is energetic, but the day includes built-in downtime:
- An included meal
- A cafe-style place to relax while you wait for your van and/or while others finish
- Farm stops with the tiny train
- Feeding fish and sheep
The park also has a playground for younger ones. One important note: the activity itself isn’t suitable for everyone (more on that below). But the playground helps families keep a good mood while adults are on the course and kids are occupied.
From a value standpoint, this “adventure plus animal calm” format prevents the common problem: zipline days where you’re done in 45 minutes and the rest of your time feels wasted. Here, you can enjoy both.
Price and Value: What You Pay for at About $32

At $32 per person for a roughly 4-hour experience, this can be a good deal—especially if you want hotel pickup and an included meal without hunting for separate activities.
Here’s what’s included in that price:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off
- Admission ticket
- Your chosen zipline or high rope package
- Delicious meal
- One bottle of drinking water
- New gloves and equipment
- English/Thai speaking staff
- First aid insurance
What you’re not paying for separately:
- Guidance for the course
- Meal planning
- Getting there on your own
That said, your real decision isn’t just the cost. It’s which package matches your energy and comfort. If you’ll stop enjoying the day because it feels too intense, the “value” math changes. Choose a level you’ll actually have fun on.
With an average rating around 4.3 from 32 reviews, the overall feedback points to a friendly, well-run experience—particularly the kindness of staff and the fact that even shorter options still feel like a full outing.
What to Wear and Bring in Mae Rim Jungle Heat

This is the practical part that can make or break comfort.
Bring
- Sunscreen
- Water (you’ll also get one bottle, but bring more if you run hot)
- Comfortable clothes
- A long-sleeved shirt
- Insect repellent
- Sports shoes
- Long pants
Wear
You’ll want clothes that handle movement and friction. Shoes should be grippy and secure for physical activity. Long pants help with contact points and general comfort on the course.
I also suggest you treat this like a sun-and-bugs day, not just a sports day. Mae Rim can be warm, and you’ll be outside before and after your main runs.
Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This is not a casual stroll. The park lists clear “not suitable” groups, and I agree with taking those limits seriously.
Not suitable for:
- Children under 6
- Pregnant women
- People with heart problems
- People afraid of heights
- People with epilepsy
- People with diabetes
- People over 65
- People with altitude sickness
- People over 243 lbs (110 kg)
- People with pre-existing medical conditions
Also, you should avoid alcohol and drugs (and explosives are not allowed). If you’re unsure about your fitness level or health situation, it’s worth asking before you commit.
Who it’s best for:
- Families who want a fun day with both adventure and a farm vibe
- Couples or solo travelers who want real action without spending all day driving around
- People comfortable choosing the right intensity—zipline A/B or high rope small/medium/all-in
Making the Most of Your Visit: Simple Tactics Before You Go
A few small choices make the biggest difference on ropes and ziplines:
- Arrive early: plan to be there at least 15 minutes before your scheduled activity time.
- Follow guide instructions closely. The safety setup works best when you listen and do exactly what they show you.
- Pick your package honestly. If you’re nervous about heights, a shorter zipline option can be a gentler start than going straight for high rope all-in.
- Use the downtime. If you’re on the shorter zipline level, you’ll likely have time to relax at the cafe and enjoy the animal stops without feeling behind.
And if your group includes different comfort levels, this is a good way to compromise: you can keep the day together while choosing different adventure intensities.
Should You Book Phoenix Adventure Park Zipline & High Rope?
I’d book this if you want a straightforward, half-day adventure that doesn’t forget about families and relaxation. The big selling points for me are the structured challenge options, the safety emphasis with French-import gear and triple protection, and the fact that the park adds enough non-adrenaline fun—like the tiny train and feeding animals—to make the time feel worth it.
I wouldn’t book it if:
- heights make you panic,
- you fall into any of the listed medical/age limits,
- or you want something calm and scenic only.
If you’re in the right health range and you’re excited by the idea of climbing or zipping through jungle air, this is a solid Chiang Mai day that feels complete, not chopped up.
