Headlamp beams cut through warm rainforest air as you step into the canyon at dusk, water nudging around ankles and the call of night birds threading the darkness. The canyon walls close in—slick basalt and layered volcanic rock shaped by millennia of rain—and the river dares you forward into pools and short rappels under a sky gone indigo.

Wear closed water shoes
Choose sturdy, grippy footwear for slick rocks and river crossings—sandals will not offer enough protection.

All gear is provided but personal electronics should be in a waterproof case or left behind to avoid damage.
Expect weather-dependent scheduling
Tours may cancel last minute during heavy rain or high flows—plan buffer time in your itinerary.
Hydrate and fuel up before dusk
A light meal and water before the tour sustain energy for hikes, jumps, and rappels; bring a small water bottle in a secure pocket.
Closed water shoes
Provide traction and protection on slippery rock and riverbeds.
Swimwear and quick-dry clothing
Core wets or swimwear keep you comfortable during dips and jumps.
Light waterproof jacket
Useful in rain or for post-tour cooling as humidity and night breezes set in.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
Protects keys, phone and small items from splash and brief submersion.
