Adventure Tips
Bring a camera with low-light capability
Sunset light is best for photos but can be dim; a good camera or smartphone helps capture the subtle details of the bridges.
Wear sturdy walking shoes
Some stops involve light walking on uneven ground near stream banks; comfortable, supportive footwear keeps you steady.
Check weather in advance
Tours operate rain or shine, but wet conditions may make footing slippery; dress accordingly.
Arrive early to secure good seats
Small-group tours fill quickly at sunset; arriving early ensures the best viewing positions for photography and comfort.
