Bring a reliable headlamp
Cave sections are explored with head torches—carry extra batteries and a backup light to avoid losing visibility underground.
Wear grippy, quick-dry shoes
Expect wet cave floors and rocky jungle trails—trail runners or approach shoes reduce slipping and dry faster than heavy boots.
Protect electronics in a dry bag
Underground river sections and rainy conditions can soak gear—use waterproof storage to keep phones and passports safe.
Hydrate and pace the trek
Tropical heat and sustained hiking make regular water stops important—carry 1.5–2L and drink before you feel thirsty.
Headlamp + spare batteries
Essential for navigating pitch-dark dry caves and hands-free light during evening tasks.
Quick-dry hiking shoes or approach shoes
Provide grip on wet cave rock and comfort on jungle trails.
Dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps clothing, documents, and electronics dry during river cave and kayak sections.
Lightweight sleeping liner or sleeping bag
Adds warmth and hygiene for camping at the riverside campsite.
