Wear grippy water footwear
Choose lace-up water shoes or sandals with good tread—the travertine can be slippery and you’ll be safer with ankle support.
Bring a dry bag for valuables
Store phones, cash, and a spare shirt in a small waterproof bag; you’ll be wet and pockets won’t cut it.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry a refillable bottle and take steady breaks; the climb and humidity can sap energy quickly.
Protect from sun and spray
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a hat—sun moves from bright beach to reflective falls fast.
Water shoes with ankle support
Provide traction on limestone ledges and protect feet from sharp edges.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents safe while you climb and swim.
Lightweight quick-dry clothing
Dries fast in humid conditions and is comfortable under a harness if ziplining.
