Wear water-friendly shoes
Choose secure sandals or water shoes with grip; the raft and riverbanks can be slippery when boarding and disembarking.
Protect electronics
Use a small waterproof pouch for phones and cash—the raft is steady but splashes are common.
Timing matters
Book a morning slot for cooler temperatures and calmer light for photos; midday trips are warmer and busier.
Health restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions—massage and raft transfers can jostle the body.
Water shoes
Provide traction and protect feet when boarding the raft and walking on rocky banks.
