Ferntree Rainforest Lodge - The Essentials

Seasons

The tropical year has only two seasons. The Wet begins in November-December and ends in late April, early May. The Dry lasts from May or June until October or November.

Clothing

You'll need casual, lightweight clothing. The region is blessed with warm weather most of the year so a swimsuit, sunscreen and hat are mandatory. Pack comfortable shoes for walking and a light sweater for evening.
