What to expect
Expect a full day of active exploration. The ATV section demands confidence on uneven terrain—you're navigating water crossings and steep grades, so it's physical but manageable for most fitness levels. After working up an appetite, you'll swim in the falls' cool freshwater, then transfer to the covered Army Truck where the pace slows and your guide unpacks rainforest ecology and history. Lunch is casual village fare. The river cruise is gentler; you'll scan the banks and waterline for crocs, turtles and birds from a motorised boat. Weather can be tropical and humid; mornings are cooler.

Bring swimwear, towel and sturdy footwear. The tour isn't suitable for spinal or serious cardiovascular conditions. Lunch is provided but has no dietary alternatives—pack your own if you have allergies or specific requirements. Infant seats available on request.
