Definitely rent the Jeep! You’ll want something that can handle the rough road... it is worth it!!
I’d recommend water shoes if you want to go dipping into the swimming pools. Some rocks are slippery, so the extra padding gave us the comfort we needed to hike the rocks in the creek without worry to our soft-city feet.
If you’re lucky and the season is right, you’ll see tons of prawns and other little guys in the water.
The sunrise from the jungle-O is breathtakingly beautiful!!
