The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for cooler runs
Morning departures beat the heat and often mean smaller groups on the lines; bring a light long-sleeve for the breeze on higher platforms.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Platforms and approach trails can be slippery—trail runners or hiking shoes give the best traction.
Hydrate and pack a refillable bottle
Tropical humidity and exertion add up fast; although snacks and water are provided, you’ll want your own bottle for the full day.
Listen to the safety briefing
Guides provide precise instructions for braking and body position—following them reduces injury risk and improves the ride.
