  This is an amazing day and such good fun. It is tough in places, so please don’t underestimate it. You will need a reasonable level of fitness to do the day. The guides are amazing and will look after you from start to finish. Whilst the activity itself is phenomenal, I do think their communication beforehand needs to be better. I’d messaged them the day before, as I had lots of unanswered questions. Their response only answered half my questions and led to some issues on the day because of a lack of information. So to help, here’s my guide on what you need: Footwear - they will provide (free) lightweight walking boots, or you can wear your own footwear. Trainers/fitted sturdy sandals are fine, but NOT flip flops. Be aware, there’s lots of mud and water, so wear something that you’re happy to get ruined. Socks - must be long socks, so you can tuck your trousers in. Trousers/Pants - MUST be long trousers to stop leaches, poison ivy etc. Ideally you want something long but light. They will not let you wear shorts, and I understand why now. Top - they recommend a long sleeved top, but you can wear a T-shirt. I wore a tee and it was fine, but a long top would give you better protection. Sunglasses - a lot of the day is in caves or under the tree canopy, so you don’t really need them. I took mine, but didn’t really use. It was more hassle constantly taking them on and off, and you can’t just carry them as you need both hands free. Hat - again I don’t think you really need, as so much is it done out of direct sun. Inspect spray - I didn’t use. The inspects are noticeable towards the end of the day, and at least one person got a little bite. Food - they provide lunch, as well as a banana and some chocolate mid morning. I’d strongly suggest a good breakfast before you go, and if you’re a big eater, take a few easy to carry snacks as well - nuts, fruit etc. Bag - they will provide you with a decent sized waterproof rucksack. If you have your own bag, you can just pop it straight inside. Water - they provide plastic water bottles, and there are opportunities to top it up throughout the day. If you have your own, good quality, water bottle that keeps the water cold, then take your own. Mobile phone - yes you can take it, as you have a waterproof rucksack. Your guide will take some pictures along the way as well, which are then sent for free by WhatsApp at the end of the day, which was a nice touch. Towel - they provide one, so you don’t really need to take one. Swimwear - you must bring swimwear to change into. At least two stops involve full on swimming. Extra clothing - you will get very wet, sweaty and muddy. I therefore strongly suggest taking a few extra bits of clothing to change into. Personally, if I did it again, I take two extra T-shirts, as well as some shorts, underwear and socks. If you’ve worn your own trainers, you’ll need something to change into when the hike is complete. Flip flops at this point are fine/ideal. Hope this helps .. enjoy :)
