Wear grippy water shoes
Rocks are wet and can be slippery—closed-toe water shoes make climbs and pool edges far safer.
Bring a compact dry bag
A small waterproof pouch keeps phone, wallet and sunscreen dry while you climb the terraces.
Go early to avoid heat and crowds
Morning visits are cooler and offer calmer water flow and better bird activity for photography.
Follow your guide’s route
Guides know safer footholds and the best spots for photos—stick with them, especially on steeper sections.
Closed-toe water shoes
