Arrive hydrated and warmed up
Drink water and do a short warm-up; cold water and sudden exertion can be shocky in mountain canyons.

Closed-toe, grippy canyon or trail shoes prevent slips on wet limestone; sandals are not suitable.
Pack a small dry bag
Store a phone, ID and dry clothes in a compact dry bag left with the guide or at the meeting point.

Operators cancel if the torrent swells — check local weather and be flexible with plans.
