Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Arrive 8:30 AM - by 10 AM the falls are a conga line of cruise tourists.
Hold child hand in human chain - guides form a linked chain, very safe.
Water shoes mandatory - limestone is razor-sharp. Rent at entrance.
Dont bring phone on climb unless in waterproof pouch with lanyard.
Skip the climb if child under 4. Use pools at bottom instead.
Natural jacuzzi pools mid-way up - good rest stops.

A Real Parent's Story
Terrified at the bottom, triumphant at the top
“My 6-year-old screamed at the first step. Our guide picked her up and carried her through the hardest part. By the top, she was leading.”

Lily refused at the base. Our guide Winston scooped her up on his shoulders through the first 30 feet. At the first pool, she joined the human chain. By the middle section, she was walking on her own. At the top, she wanted to go again. We did it twice.
