The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for check-in

Plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before your start to complete waivers, weight checks, and a safety briefing.

Sneakers or trail shoes keep your feet secure on platforms and during short hikes between stations.

Mind health & weight limits

This activity isn’t recommended for guests with serious back, heart, or pregnancy concerns; operators will enforce weight or harness limits.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Bring a reusable water bottle and apply reef-safe sunscreen—the Lowcountry sun is strong, especially in summer.
