Before you trek

Wear shoes that grip.

Several waterfalls are reached on foot. The open trip terms describe trekking on a slippery, steep path to the waterfall, which is why the open trip is for ages 10 to 50; outside that range, a private trip can be arranged.

The trips involve a lot of physical activity. If you have a history of asthma, hypertension, heart disease or a similar condition, consult a doctor first and bring your medicines.

  • Trekking shoes or trekking sandals
  • A dry bag or daypack and a change of clothes
  • Personal medicines, and a power bank
  • Mineral water is provided on the trip
