Soft duffle or cabin bags are required as they are able to fit in the helicopter storage compartment (no hard base or suitcases please). Due to space limitations please do not bring one large bag between two guests.
  • In some instances, the pilot may ask you to re-pack into a supplied soft duffle bag if your luggage is too large. Rest assured, we can securely store any of your excess luggage or hard cases at our hangar for pick up on your return trip. To assist, Mt Mulligan Lodge offers a complimentary laundry service for guests (dry cleaning is not available).

In special circumstances a private charter may be required at an additional cost. If you have any concerns regarding your baggage please contact us prior to your arrival so we can assist you.

Helicopter offset
Morris Escapes, via the Morris Family Foundation, continue to invest in regenerating the Daintree Rainforest with our partner Rainforest Rescue. For a 30 minute helicopter flight, the equivalent of 3 trees will need to be planted to sequester the greenhouse gas emissions of the trip back into the natural system. We highly encourage our guests to invest $27 per trip, per person, which will be donated to Rainforest Rescue to undertake restoration of the Daintree Rainforest.
