Wear closed-toe water shoes
Trails are muddy and cave floors slippery; sturdy water shoes give grip and protect toes when exiting the river.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep a phone, ID and cash dry — operators provide tubes but not secure lockers on site.
Hydrate before you go
The hike and tropical humidity can sap energy; drink water before departure and carry a refillable bottle.
Respect cave formations
Don’t touch stalactites or stalagmites — oils from skin damage fragile mineral growth that took thousands of years.
Closed-toe water shoes
Grip and foot protection on muddy approaches and slippery riverbanks.
Quick-dry swimwear and towel
Dries fast and keeps you comfortable before and after the float.
summer
Small dry bag or waterproof pouch
