The light narrows to a cone as you step from jungle into rock; a headlamp picks out stalactites and the slow silver ribbon of the Sibun River that will carry you downstream. You slide into a commercial tube, shoulders loosened by warm water, and the cave breathes around you—cool, mineral-rich air that smells faintly of damp limestone and leaf mold.

Wear closed water shoes
Trail and cave floors are rocky and slippery—secure, protective footwear improves traction and keeps toes safe.
Use a waterproof bag
Keep phones and extra batteries dry; cave spray and muddy trails will soak unsecured gear.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Tropical humidity and light exertion dehydrate quickly—refill at the site restaurant between sections.
Listen to the safety briefing
Guides explain where to hold the tube, when to push off, and how to behave around fragile formations—follow instructions precisely.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on rocky, slippery trail and cave floors and provides grip while entering/exiting tubes.
Quick-dry clothing
Light, breathable layers dry fast after river sections and keep you comfortable in humid conditions.
Waterproof dry bag
Keeps electronics, spare batteries, and documents dry during the float and on the trail.
Insect repellent
Useful for the jungle approach and post-tour areas—especially important in the wet season.
