Surfing the Jungle - Yeah, that's right!

---

4 and a half hours from Undara Park, we arrived at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree rain forest.
We chose to observe the rain forest from a higher point of view. It started by getting harnessed up. Then we hiked up a mountain trail to the first platform. Jonathan (aka Rambo) was the first victim. Mom (aka Paris Hilton) and Adam (Batman) followed closely behind. The guides for this experience were quite the characters and were always reassuring (not). With comments like the cables usually don't break or yelling "wait!" after a person was launched 20 meters above the jungle floor, kept the mood lively and light. After the first flight, we confident on the ropes. We met some fellow Canadians from Alberta that showed us how to lick green ant's butts for vitamin 'C'. Weird...but true (we had also heard that from the Aboriginal Medicine Lady).
During the final leg of jungle surfing, everyone went upside down. It was very cool! Generally, we recommend this activity to anyone who wants see the rain forest from a bird's perspective.
