I recommend wearing comfy shoes. Some parts can be tricky with uneven paths, and I learned the hard way when my sandals started hurting halfway through!

You might wanna start the walk around 7 AM to beat the crowds and get the best views. Trust me, the early morning light is so beautiful!

I suggest starting your hike around 7 AM to beat the heat and catch the sunrise views – they're spectacular! Trust me, waking up early is worth it

I think it’s great to buy food supplies in Alice Springs before hitting the trail. It’s way cheaper and you’ll find a lot more options than at the start of the trail.

My advice is to pack as light as possible but don’t skimp on good trekking shoes – I learned that the hard way after my feet hurt half way through!

I recommend downloading the trail map or having a GPS app handy. I got lost on my first day and it wasted a good couple of hours looking for the right path.

If you're planning to camp, check out the free camp sites. There's some beautiful spots that won't break the bank, and they provide an awesome starry night view

My advice is to take your time at the viewpoints and don't forget your camera! The scenery is jaw-dropping, and some trails will have seat area where you can chill a bit. Just be mindful of slippery paths; I almost slipped once!

For a more budget-friendly option, consider bringing your own picnic instead of eating at the cafes nearby... My friends and I saved a lot, and eating in nature was way more enjoyable than a crowded eatery!

I think it's smart to bring a portable charger for your phone. There are many epic photo ops and you'll run out of battery taking pics for sure!

My advice is to wear layers and check the weather before heading out. It can get chilly pretty quick, especially in the afternoon, and you want to be comfortable while walking

I recommend taking the early ferry at around 8 AM. You'll have more time to explore without the crowds, and you can soak in the stunning views before the day gets busy.

I suggest packing snacks for the hike; the food options on the island are limited and pricey. Bringing your own can save you some cash and keep your energy up for the trail.

I suggest bringing a portable charger for your phone. You're gonna want to take a ton of photos, and my battery died halfway through. Don't miss those epic views!

I think you're gonna love the scenery, but keep an eye on the weather! It changes fast. Bring a light rain jacket and sunblock even on cloudy days – I got caught out once!
