Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Mayagusuku Falls
Beginners can also try guided tours. However, it is recommended to choose a tour that is set at a pace suitable for beginners, as it is physically demanding.
A waterproof bag, trekking shoes, quick-dry clothing, rainwear, 1-1.5L of water, and insect repellent are essential. Tours with rentals will reduce the burden.
If you are concerned about your physical fitness, we recommend that you take a sightseeing boat, which is less taxing. Kayaking offers a sense of oneness with nature, but the return trip may be harder due to the wind.
