Good to know
This tour suits swimmers and hikers comfortable with water immersion, mild exposure, and sustained physical exertion over 7 hours—not a casual stroll. You need good cardiovascular fitness, solid swimming ability, and no spinal injuries or pregnancy. Bring swimsuit, sunscreen, and a waterproof camera or phone case; the gear provided keeps you safe but you'll be wet most of the day. Groups are typically small to medium-sized. The optional zipline costs 600 PHP per person, paid in cash on-site. Public transport is nearby if you're arranging your own transfer. Peak times can mean busier trails; early departures help. Not wheelchair accessible due to river terrain.
