Typically the price covers transport, a guide and entrance fees; meals and any boat rides are often part of the package. Inclusions vary by operator, so always read the specific listing - it spells out exactly what is provided and what you pay for separately, such as entrance or environmental fees.
What should I bring?
Pack comfortable shoes, a light layer for cool or early-morning air, water, sunscreen and a hat. It is also worth carrying some cash for local fees, drinks and tips, plus any personal medication, since card facilities can be limited outside the cities.

If you have specific concerns about age, fitness or swimming ability, message the operator before booking - they can advise on the best option for your group.
