Treetop Adventures
Contestants in Amazing Race Asia 3 flew along the Flight of the Gibbon ziplines in Thailand and you can, too. You’ll go from one zip line to another during this zip line canopy tour through the 1,500-year-old rain forest of Mae Kompong, about an hour from Chiang Mai.

During this three-hour zip line adventure, you will move between 18 platforms, skybridges and lowering stations that link two kilometers of zip lines. Along the way, you’ll zip through different layers of the rainforest canopy, eye level with the birds.

Treetop Adventures chose the name – Flight of the Gibbon - because the zip line adventure mimics the way these primates travel. The company gives 10 percent of its profits toward gibbon conservation and other projects to help preserve the rainforest.
