Adventure Tips
Bring a waterproof jacket or poncho

Arrive early to meet your guide
The tour starts promptly at the park entrance across from the Hard Rock Cafe; arriving 15 minutes early helps smooth check-in.
Stay hydrated but carry minimal gear
Bottled water is provided, but limit what you carry to keep your walk light and comfortable.
