The Experience

Before You Go

Wear water-friendly shoes

Closed-toe water shoes with good grip are essential for slippery rock and river slides.

Bring a dry bag

Protect your phone and valuables—bagged items can stay on the guide’s boat or the trail staging area.

Hydrate before you go

Carry a refillable bottle; the guide provides soft drinks but early hydration avoids cramps during activity.

Follow guide briefings

Ziplines and natural slides require exact positioning—listen to instructions to avoid injury.

Conservation Note

The park limits access points and groups to reduce erosion and protect freshwater pools; avoid sunscreen and biodegradable soaps in the water and follow guide rules to minimize impact.

The falls lie in an area long used by Taíno peoples and later by small plantations; local guides often include cultural stops that reflect the community’s plantation-era practices.
