Wear water shoes
The falls and reef entry have sharp rocks and slippery limestone—closed-toe, soft-soled water shoes improve grip and protect feet.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral—choose mineral-based sunscreen to protect marine life while staying sun-safe.
Hydrate and pace yourself
The climb is social and can be tiring in sun; drink water, take breaks on ledges, and listen to the guide.
Bring cash for tips and small purchases
Local vendors and guides often accept cash for snacks, photos, and gratuities—small bills are handy.
Water shoes
Provide traction on wet limestone and protect feet entering reefs and the falls.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral; apply before boarding and reapply as directed.
Swimsuit and quick-dry layers
Wear a secure swimsuit and a light cover-up for sun protection between activities.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
Keeps valuables dry during snorkeling and the waterfall climb.
