Bring waterproof protection
A lightweight rain jacket or waterproof cover for electronics keeps you comfortable in near-constant spray; quick-dry layers work best.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails include wet stone and boardwalks—sturdy, closed-toe footwear with good tread prevents slips.
Timing matters for light and crowds
Visit early morning or late afternoon for softer light, rainbows in the mist, and fewer tour groups.
Protect the rainforest
Stay on designated paths and avoid trampling vegetation—this preserves the spray-forest that depends on the falls’ mist.
