The Experience
Before You Go
Start early
Morning departures beat heat and afternoon thunderstorms common in the wet season; arrive hydrated and ready to move.
Wear water shoes
Expect wet approaches, slippery cave floors, and shallow paddleable sections—secure, grippy footwear matters.
Bring a dry bag
Phones and cameras survive better sealed away during kayaking, tubing, and rainy spells.

Some caves have cultural or religious significance—avoid touching formations and follow guide instructions.
