WARNING: epic post.
GET HIGH. GET WET. GET LAID.
That is what I have done during my stay at Misson Beach. Except we did it backwards. We laid down in bed, by the pool, in the pool, etc and stayed there for nearly a day. Then we spent a day getting wet white water rafting on the Tully river. Finally we got high, 14,000 ft high and jumped out of a plane :-) .
Mission beach is very pretty and very relaxed but unless you have booked some crazy activities there isn't really anything to do. Lucky we booked the 2 day mission then :-)
White water rafting was amazing. We made it clear to the organisers that we wanted extreme, even though we couldn't afford to pay for it, and they said they would give us the most extreme guide they had. They definitely did. We took all the hardest routes. We flipped the boat sideways just for fun. We dove head first into a rapid and the guide pushed us all out the boat. Finally I volunteered to sit on the very front of the boat and ride it down a rapid. The whole day was amazing and even just the view from the boat was worth paying for. We had gorgeous sunny weather for most of the day as well as a sudden brief downpour which just added to the excitement.
Then today it got even better. We left early in the morning to go Sky diving at Mission beach. We jumped from 14,000 ft and had a 60 second freefall. It was probably the longest 60 seconds of my life, staring down at the ocean and the great barrier reef, a stunning stretch of beaches, and a rainforest. There really isn't anything I can say that would do the experience justice, only that I absolutely loved it!
