Hydrate consistently

Carry water or use provided bottled water to stay hydrated over the 6-hour tour to maintain energy and focus.

Avoid the tour if pregnant or with heart/spinal issues

The physical demands of hiking, heights, and ziplining mean this adventure is not recommended for pregnant individuals or those with cardiovascular or spinal conditions.
