The Experience
Before You Go
Start early and confirm pickup
Pick-ups run 6:00–7:00am; confirm your exact time within the 48-hour window and be ready—this is a long day.
Bring small cash
Many roadside stands and food trucks are cash-only—bring small bills for banana bread and farm produce.
Be swim- and trail-ready
Wear quick-dry clothes and closed-toe shoes for slippery trails around pools and waterfalls.
Prepare for motion
If you get motion sickness, take medication before departure and choose a front-seat window view.
