stroll down to the beach or a swim in the pool to cool off.
Day 2 & 3 - Cape Tribulation to Mission Beach
You may wish to start your day with an optional 3 hour sea
kayaking cruise (own expense) before we wind our way back
down along the coastline through Cairns to the Boulders, where
there's time for a refreshing swim. Our destination today
and for the next two nights is tropical Mission Beach. Known
as the adrenaline capital of the north, Mission Beach offers
many optional activities. Why not take a full day white-water
rafting trip down the mighty Tully River. Those with a strong
sense of adventure can try tandem skydiving, landing on the
beach or catch the water taxi out to Dunk Island for some
stunning rainforest hiking. You could go on a fishing charter,
relax on the 14 km of pristine beach or go for a rainforest

of cracking a whip! (BD)
