Hydration is non-negotiable
Carry at least 2–3 liters of water per person; the tour provides bottled water but bring extras if you sweat heavily.
Footwear and footing
Wear sturdy hiking shoes with good grip—trail sections are rocky and loose near cliff edges.
Sun protection
Use a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses; shade is scarce and UV levels are high year-round.
Respect cliff edges
Keep to marked areas and the guide’s instructions; wind gusts and crumbly rock make edges hazardous.
