Jungle Surfing
Jungle Surfing Canopy Tours is a must-do, new and exciting way to view the World Heritage Listed Rainforest in Cape Tribulation. Canopy surfing takes place up in the treetops, with five platforms linked by steel flying fox runs. The longest span is over 75m and the platforms vary in height from 2.5 - 19.5m above the ground. Each participant is attached by full body harness to the flying fox cables. At the highest point you fly over 22m above Mason Creek, and the flight choice is yours - slow, fast or upsidedown.

Cape Trib Horseriding
This is the only beach ride in Cape Tribulation. Cape Tribulation Horse Rides offers two rides per day through rainforest and open paddock trails. The ride leaves the yard and heads through the rainforest to Myall Beach, where you will ride along the beach and have the opportunity to have photos taken with your horse (please supply own camera). 

Sunset Kayaking
Escape the heat of the day for a 2.5hr paddle in Cape Tribulation Bay. Enjoy the solitude, because at this time of day all the tour groups have left, and you will get the whole place to yourself. Watch the sky light up as the sun sets behind Mt.Sorrow. Some days you can even watch a cassowary walk along the beach.

Accommodation
Cape Trib Beach House is for those after a beach holiday. The property is located right on the beach, 'where the rainforest meets the reef'. Choose from Dorm Share, Budget Double (fan with shared bathroom) and Escape Double (Air-conditioned and ensuite).

At lunch time the following day you will be collected from your accommodation to continue on the adventure. You will travel to Cape Trib beach for a walk to the headland that provides magnificent views of where the 'rainforest literally meets the reef'.

Deep into the national park is The Marrdja Botanical boardwalk , one of the specially constructed rainforest and mangrove walks. Your guide will enlighten you to the secrets of the rainforest; learn about its foods, medicines and history during your guided walk.

Arriving back at the Daintree River enjoy a 1 hour river cruise. Learn about the mangroves that line the banks, and spot crocodiles, birds and other wildlife that inhabit the area. Following this you will have the opportunity to take in the spectacular views from the Rex Lookout on your journey home, before returning to your accommodation.
