cairns adrenaline activities: jungle surfing
Jungle Surfing in Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation
There’s a new species in the world’s oldest rainforest’ the JUNGLE SURFER.
Set in the pristine Daintree rainforest at Cape Tribulation, the Queensland Tourism Award-winning Jungle Surfing Canopy Tours takes you on a unique rainforest tour where your feet don’t touch the ground. Jungle Surfers fly through the trees on flying fox ziplines, stopping at five tree platforms to take in spectacular bird’s eye views over the treetops, down to cascading streams and out to the Great Barrier Reef.
The longest span is over 75 metres and the platforms vary in height from 2.5 to 19.5 metres above the ground. At the highest point you fly over 22 metres above the valley, and the flight choice is yours — slow, fast or even upside down.
While your taste for adventure is fulfilled, your safety is covered with all construction and equipment meeting the highest standards and all platforms manned by highly trained abseiling masters and scientist guides, who educate and entertain you throughout the tour.
With four two-hour tours daily and harnesses to suit kids aged 3 up to adults weighing 120kg, you can bring the kids and bring the grandparents — Jungle Surfing is an adventure activity for all ages.
The canopy extends 35 metres above the ancient forest floor. The near 300 degree views from the highest branches stretch far beyond the imagination out to the Great Barrier Reef, across to Mt Sorrow and falls clear of the horizon.
Here you discover a large variety of native forest animals nestled quietly out of site. Goannas, Boyd’s Forest Dragons, bandicoots, beetles, tree kangaroos, cassowaries and hundreds of different bird species are just some of the delights that may catch your eye.
