Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light meal and drink water before the session — cold water and exertion sap energy quickly.
Wear sturdy water shoes
Grippy, closed-toe neoprene or trail water shoes protect your feet on sharp rock and give traction on wet surfaces.
Check tide times
Lower tides expose more ledges and caves; operators tailor routes to tidal conditions, so ask which tide is best.
