Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult; the operator does not recommend the trip for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart conditions.
Bring a camera with a telephoto lens and good low-light performance, spare batteries, and a tripod or monopod if you plan long-exposure shots from the lodge.
