Use a wrist strap or chest mount; loose phones and sunglasses can be lost on high-speed lines.
Hydrate before you fly
Bring water and drink beforehand—tropical heat and adrenaline make dehydration easy.
Listen to your guide
Guides control braking and attachments—follow instructions for a safe landing and smooth transitions.
