Day 7 Daintree Rainforests + Jungle Surfing

On Day 7 we enjoyed a walking tour of the Daintree Rainforest (the worlds oldest rainforest).  It was unbelievable.  After the rainforest tour we enjoyed a nice lunch and then headed off to Jungle Surf!  It was AWESOME!

 There is no road to get to Cape Tribulation.  You have to drive onto this large ferry which takes you across the river!
 The kids loved the ferry ride :)
 Daintree Rainforest.  Just beautiful.


 They loved this dinosaur looking them that made noises and moved its head when they walked by.  It scared them to death the first time ;)






 Bathroom :)

 Touring the Daintree Rainforest.
 Look closely and you will see an insect.

 Another insect camouflaging on that tree.  Amazing.

 Is that a branch or another insect.  You guessed it - another insect.  Pretty impressive science lesson on this tour ;)

 These trees are thousands of years old.
 John and Ella Kate never left the tour guides side.  They were very engaged. 

 That is a string of ants!

Next up - Jungle Surfing (aka Zip Lining) through the worlds oldest rainforest! 



 






 The hamster wheel you have to walk on to get to the first set of zip lines.

 





 The first 2 zip lines were tandem meaning two people go together.  This was a perfect way to ease John in :)  He played it so cool b/c he was not about to let the "cool guys" that were in charge know he was scared to death :)  HaHa.







 Fearless. 














 









 John and Dave racing on the last zip line.


 Amazing experience!  We loved it.
 On the ferry crossing the river back to our hotel in Port Douglas.  I spy something in that water.
 
 Yep that is a croc!
