Wear quick-dry clothing
Synthetic layers and a swim top beneath a wetsuit (if provided) speed drying and reduce chafing after swims.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll be exposed to sun on riverbanks and during transfers; choose non-oxybenzone formulas to protect coral.
Hydrate before the start
Bring water to sip; physical exertion and sun exposure make pre-hike hydration important even on short tours.
Follow guide signals
Jumping and route choices are guided — wait for clear instruction to ensure safe entries and exits.
Quick-dry clothing
