Wear water shoes
Traction is poor on wet limestone—closed-toe, quick-dry footwear reduces slips when climbing the falls and hopping between pools.
Bring a dry bag
Protect phones and wallets during rope swings and streams; many visitors switch to a dry bag for the Blue Hole portion.
Start early
Aim for morning pickup to avoid midday heat and the busiest tour groups at both sites.
