Tree Bridge Zipline Samui

This is the kind of adventure activity that works even if you've never clipped into a harness before. The course runs through dense jungle in the Mae Nam area on Samui's north coast, and guides lead every group from platform to platform, setting the pace and doing the technical bits for you. That takes most of the nerves out of it. What's left is the canopy itself, which is the actual point: you're moving through a living forest rather than over a landscaped car park with a cable strung across it.

Families and mixed-ability groups tend to do well here, since nobody's expected to arrive fit. If you're an experienced zipliner chasing a huge drop or a long single run, temper your expectations a little and treat it as a jungle experience with speed attached. I'd go in the morning. It's cooler, the light through the trees is better, and afternoon rain is more likely to interfere.
