Bring your driver’s license
A valid driving license is required to drive the buggy — leave copies at basecamp if you’re passenger-only.
Wear closed, grippy shoes
Trails can be dusty or muddy; closed shoes with tread protect feet during climbs and footing around the waterfall.
Pack a dry bag for electronics
A quick swim at the waterfall follows dusty tracks — a small dry bag keeps phone and wallet safe.
Time it for morning light
Early departures are cooler with clearer views from the crest and less trail traffic.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protects feet on dusty and potentially muddy tracks and when exiting to explore viewpoints.
Swimwear & quick-dry towel
Bring for the waterfall swim and to change into after the ride.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Open ridgelines and tropical sun mean reliable sun protection is important.
Valid driver’s license (original)
Required to operate the buggy — guides will check before departure.
