Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect toes on platforms and during approach trails.

Secure loose items

Use sealed pockets or leave phones and sunglasses with staff; harnesses don’t replace secure storage.

Know the weight limit

Maximum participant weight is 120 kg (264 lbs); disclose any medical issues during booking.

Conservation Note

Operators limit group sizes, enforce weight and gear rules, and ask visitors to avoid feeding wildlife to reduce human-wildlife conflict and protect native species.
