Quick answerWear a swimsuit under quick dry clothes and bring sturdy closed shoes or water shoes with grip. Add reef safe sunscreen, a small waterproof pouch for your phone and some cash for tips. Helmet and life vest are provided, so leave valuables and loose items behind.
Footwear and clothing
Closed shoes that can get wet are essential because the rocks are slick. Avoid flip flops. Quick dry shorts and a rash guard protect against scrapes and sun better than cotton, which stays heavy when wet.
What to leave behind
Leave jewelry, large bags and anything not waterproof at your hotel or in the lockers. The climb involves jumping and sliding, so loose items get lost. A waterproof phone case lets you take photos safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my phone or camera?
Only in a fully waterproof case or a dry bag, since you will be in and under water. Many guides carry a waterproof camera and share photos afterward.
