My advice is only take a small bag, with essentials, no water needed there is a cafe at the landing site. Wear a light jacket. My bigger bag had to be left in the van, and the van was different to the one I took back from the landing site. It was ok though as they dropped my bag to my accommodation later. Definitely recommend this activity.”
