The Experience

Before You Go

Check the meet-up point

Meet-up is set by wind direction—confirm whether you’ll be picked up at Nai Harn Beach or Windmill Viewpoint before you leave.

Weight limits enforced

Operators require a minimum of 40 kg and maximum of 100 kg—be prepared to provide accurate weight at booking.

Sun and glare protection

Sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen are recommended; the sun is strong even during short flights.

Secure your gear

Use a neck strap or wrist strap for phones/cameras and follow the pilot’s instructions to prevent dropped items.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Windmill Viewpoint (great for sunrise launch views)
  • Ao Sane or Yanui Beach—small coves visible from flight that are quieter than nearby Nai Harn

Wildlife

  • White-bellied sea eagle (often seen along cliffs)
  • Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins offshore

Conservation Note

Operators encourage minimal disturbance to coastal and bird habitats—avoid dropping gear and follow pilot directions to protect nesting seabirds and reef ecosystems.

Phuket’s economy grew from tin mining and maritime trade; southern coastal villages still reflect a fishing-first heritage and Sino-Portuguese influences in the island’s towns.
