Arrive early for the ferry
Allow extra time for the Daintree River Ferry (6am–midnight); busy days may have waits over an hour and the ferry costs about $45 return per vehicle.
Respect the weight and health limits
Participants are weighed at check-in and the maximum weight is 120 kg; not suitable for those with serious heart, spinal, or mobility conditions.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants
The course includes stairs, suspension bridges and a gravel approach—secure footwear and long pants reduce abrasion and insect exposure.
Hydrate and protect from insects
Bring a water bottle and apply insect repellent before the tour; humidity accelerates dehydration and midges can be active in low-light understory areas.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Grip and protection for stairs, bridges and the 200 m gravel approach.
Long, quick-dry pants
Protects legs from harness abrasion, insects and undergrowth.
Reusable water bottle
