The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a quick-dry change of clothes

Arrive with swimwear under your clothes
Change is faster at the office and you’ll get into supplied wetsuits at the trailhead—have swimwear ready for comfort and hygiene.
Practice basic jumps before you go
If you’re nervous about 3–4 m drops, ask the guide for lower entry options and a demonstration—guides teach safe techniques.
Protect valuables from water
Bring a small dry bag or leave phones and loose gear at the office; the operator offers a photo service so you won’t miss key shots.
