This is a challenging 8-10 hour hike, only suitable for fit and active individuals. We gain 750m in elevation over the first 3km. Once we reach the 3.5km mark, the trail does ease off as we are on top of the range.

After the first 3.5km of uphill walking, the rainforest opens up to a large clearing. This area will be used as a turnaround point if guests are not up to the challenge of reaching Devil’s Thumb, or your guide feels there won’t be enough time left in the day.

The Coral fern patch provides incredible views, very similar to those on top of Devil’s Thumb. We can spend more time exploring this area, before heading back down to the vehicle.

Although we cross a small creek at the start, there are no swimming holes located along the rest of the trail.

From Port Douglas, the tour is approx 12 hours including transfers.

On average, we take 8-10 hours to complete the trail. This includes many breaks and plenty of photo opportunities.

Group size, weather and fitness levels can change the time taken to complete.

While the rainforest loves the rain, we may need to cancel if any storms are predicted. We will keep you updated on any changes as we approach your tour date. If we cancel the tour, a full refund will be provided.
