‍What should I wear/bring?

We recommend wearing non-skid, non-marking shoes (no heels). For day tours, consider bringing sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat. There is partial shade in the bar area. For evening tours, the weather can be cooler, so a hoodie or light jacket is advised. DEET-free bug spray is best as it is more eco-friendly with ingredients that are less likely to harm the environment.
