Hydrate and eat lightly
Start with a good meal and carry an extra 1L of water—the tropical humidity and late-afternoon walk will deplete fluids quickly.
Bring a headlamp
Night walks are optional but rewarding; a reliable headlamp or flashlight helps you spot nocturnal wildlife and navigate uneven trails.
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Trails can be muddy and the waterfall approach slippery—shoes that drain and grip will keep you comfortable for the swim.
Use insect repellent
Mosquitoes and other biting insects increase around dusk—apply repellent and consider long-sleeves for the night walk.
Headlamp or flashlight
Essential for the optional night walk and navigating camp paths after dark.
