Jungle Tour

It has been a few days since my last post, as I have been literally living on a boat for the past 3 days! More of that later, for now I'll share my one day Go Wild tour of Cape Tribulation.


It was another early morning as I was collected from my hostel at 7AM by Jungle Tours. We had a lot to see in a short amount of time, starting with a visit to the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary.

Here I was able to interact with many of the Aussie animals I've seen during past tours. There were however a few reptiles that I was newly introduced to, including Charlie the crocodile and Jungle girl the Python!


I met a few French Canadians who got their first chance at feeding a roo!


Found another wallaby with a joey - this one has hair, much cuter !



After lunch and a quick swim in the Mossman Gorge, the 15 of us took a cruise on the Daintree River looking for some crocodiles! We ran into a couple of huge crocs and got to take a few pictures. They were harmless and kept to themselves; however, there was a note on the bus reminding everyone that crocs can jump - don't want to hang body parts off the railing!



We also spotted a baby bat taking a nap in the tree, along with a few tree snakes.



Our last stop was Cape Tribulation Beach where we played in the sand, collected sea shells and some of the boys took a swim in the ocean.



On the way home we spotted this neat sign - pretty much everyone took photographs beside it.



Tonight I'm headed out for dinner and drinks with the whole gang from our diving trip - cannot wait to post pictures!
