Basic swimming ability is recommended, but many sections are shallow and guides provide alternatives; non-swimmers should inform the guide and use life vests where available.
Jumps can reach up to 8 m (25 ft) at the largest pools, but none are mandatory—guides offer walk-around routes for each big jump.
Tours can be canceled or routes changed for safety during heavy rain; operators monitor conditions and may reschedule or offer refunds per policy.
