The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate early and often
Bring a 1–2L reusable water bottle and refill between activities—tropical sun and activity will dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Trails and zipline platforms are uneven and can be muddy—closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners give needed grip and protection.
Bring a quick-dry swimsuit and change of clothes
You’ll want swimwear for the waterslide and hot springs plus a dry set for the ride back to your hotel.
Carry ID and any medical info
A passport is required the day of travel and guides will ask for health info; bring any medications and note allergies for staff.
