Canopy Tours

Jungle Surfing Canopy Tours. It's an exhilarating perspective on the rain forest and reef: suspended above the canopy on flying-fox zip lines, your speed controlled by guides as you whiz along over lush rain forest and Mason's Creek, stopping at tree platforms for killer bird's-eye views. Sessions last 1½ to 2 hours and depart eight times a day starting at 7:45 am. Nightly guided Jungle Adventures Nightwalks explore the critter-filled 45-acre grounds, departing PK's Jungle Village reception at 7:30 pm. You can also buy tickets covering zip-lining and the night tour. Transfers from most local accommodations are free, or self-drive to the central departure point. Day-tour packages from Port Douglas include lunch. Note that Jungle Surfing is unsuitable for anyone weighing more than 120 kilograms (260 pounds), and that anyone under 18 needs a medical certificate and waiver before they'll be allowed to zip-line.
