Our guide Barney described it the best when he said it's about the serenity and the immersive experience in nature in one of the oldest rainforests on earth. On top of that the Mossman River is the most pure and refreshing water I've ever swum in - you could literally drink the water!
We learned a new phrase too - bone crushing - which means drifting through shallow water and bashing your bones against the rocks. Michelle demonstrated this by banging her leg into one of these bone crushing rocks but while in pain for a few days she too had a great time.
The most beautiful part was the last segment when we drifted through "The Cathedral" which is the beautiful stream of river that's covered with a canopy of trees that arches upward and to the sky and curves inward with its light green leaves and think trunks.
We spontaneously signed up for this adventure with Back Country River Drift Snorkeling on the Mossman River (Fri. Jan. 7) and are very, very glad we did as it was a fantastic experience and a ton of fun!

In the Cathedral on the Mossman River did you record underwater? Because it looks like you did. If you didn't should we look into an underwater video recorder or a camera?
ReplyDeleteLooks great. WE are actually going up to the daintree next week, and I'm hoping to book in to do this.
