If you are an adventurous nature lover, the Daintree Rainforest
tours are just for you. The unspoiled forest, rich bodies of
water and challenging trails will surely get your adrenaline pumping.
Before you start your Daintree Rainforest adventure, here are some tips
to make the most of your experience:
Prepare for long trails ahead
North Queensland is home to numerous
trails that attract tourists and hiking enthusiasts alike. These walks usually
take about 1 hour to complete. Do not forget to bring at least 3-4 litres of
water with you to stay hydrated
1.
Bring first aid kits
Daintree spans miles
of wild unspoiled and sometimes unexplored territory. Bring first aid kits to
quickly address bruises, scrapes, cuts, and other minor injuries.
2.
Keep dry
The Daintree is known
for its unpredictable rain. Bring an extra change of clothes or wear a raincoat
in case you get caught in a downpour
3.
Never smile at a crocodile
The Daintree is home
to many salt water crocodiles. Stay safe and avoid bodies of water that are marked with crocodile
warning signs. When in doubt, ask the locals.
4.
Watch out for jellyfish
Warm waters in summer
brings box jellyfishes to the shores of Cape Tribulation. They inject toxins
than can paralyse you in minutes and cause drowning before you can even reach
land. If you are stung, washing area with vinegar can slow down the toxin to
give you time to get help.
5.
Don’t
get tangled and stung in the forest
Stinging trees and
wait-a-while bushes grow throughout this rainforest. Some people get stuck on
wait-a-while bushes and get tangled with their spines. Wear clothes that can
cover your whole body to avoid these painful forest stingers.
When visiting the Daintree,
remember these tips to stay safe and make the most of your time. For more
information, ask the staff at Cape
Tribulation Beach House.
