    We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests. As part of this commitment, there are certain requirements and restrictions that we must adhere to. We understand that these may not suit everyone, and we apologise if any of these prevent you from being able to participate in our tour.

      You understand that this activity requires physical exertion and it is your responsibility to make sure you’re healthy enough to participate.

  • Can I be a spectator?
    Unfortunately not.  Due to the tour starting and finishing in different locations, there are no suitable areas to sit and watch.
  • Do we still run the tour if it is raining?
    Generally yes! However, it depends on how much rain and also where the rain is falling. 1-5mm of rain will hardly wet the ground in the tropics, so please don’t worry if this is the forecast. If you have any concerns, please contact us for an update on the river conditions, as heavy rain can influence the safety and overall enjoyment of this tour. As this tour is weather dependent, it may be cancelled in conditions of heavy rainfall or extreme weather. If this occurs, an alternative date will be offered, or you will be refunded in full.
  • What about crocodiles?
    We don’t swim with crocs! You should always be Croc-wise in Croc country; that is why you can rest assured that our tour operates in a very safe, Croc-Free stretch of water. Crocodiles use the water, sun and shade to maintain their preferred body temperature of 30–33°C. Where we swim is too clear, too cold at 16-22°C, and too shaded for crocodiles. The cool water is one reason we provide you with a very fashionable wetsuit to use during your tour. The best way to see crocodiles in the wild, is with Bruce Belcher’s wildlife cruises on the Daintree River (not the same river)
  • What to bring?
    Swimmers to wear under your wetsuit
    There are no change rooms at the river, so please wear your swimmers underneath your clothes
    Towel & comfortable footwear
