The Experience

Before You Go

Wear grippy footwear

Water shoes or sturdy sandals reduce slip risk on wet limestone at Blue Hole and rocky approaches.

Bring a dry bag

Protect phone, wallet, and camera from splashes and sudden rain during the rainforest portion.

Arrive hydrated and fueled

The day includes physical elements — ziplines, climbing short rocky sections, and swimming — so drink and eat beforehand.

Follow guide cues for jumps

Depths vary and hidden rocks exist; only jump where staff confirm it’s safe and allowed.
