ALL OVERNIGHT EXPEDITIONS: Hiking boots, long pants, long sleeve shirt, mosquito repellent, minimum one full change of clothes, full size back pack and flashlight.

Caves Branch Lodge guests need to bring mosquito repellent and a flashlight or headlamp with them.

Non lodge guests participating in day trips only, should bring a full change of clothes to get changed into at the end of the day before returning to their hotel.

If your footwear is determined by Caves Branch to not be up to standard to provide a safe trip, we will rent hiking boots at a nominal charge of $5.00 per day, however, we only have a limited supply of various sizes.

Due to safety concerns, those not prepared with mandatory clothing will not be allowed to participate on any activity.

Participation Policy

GUARANTEE OF PARTICIPATION cannot be made in advance for any person even if they have made a reservation and or made a deposit or made payment in full for any activity. Caves Branch Jungle Lodge, the management and their staff have the right to refuse participation of any person at any time for any reason due to their concern that the person's fitness or actions might put that person, or others, in harm's way. All decisions are final and not arbitrated. Our concern for your safety is our primary mandate. Alternative activities will be recommended or if you prefer, payments made to Caves Branch will be refunded in full if we feel that it would be better for your safety if you did not participate on a specific trip.

CHILDREN under the age of 14 will not be guaranteed participation in any activity unless the staff of Caves Branch approve their participation. Age is not necessarily a deciding factor but our concerns are strictly for your child’s safety.

CANCELLATION OF TRIPS AND EXPEDITIONS: The management and staff will use every resource available to determine if weather will effect the safety and welfare of trip participants. If we feel that the weather will adversely effect any trip, that trip will be cancelled. Sometimes advance notice of this cancellation is not possible.

In the event of a scheduled trip being cancelled due to weather conditions, refunds will not be made on those trips. We will, however, provide alternative trips for guests which are not affected by the weather.

Waiver and Release of Liability Policy

A Waiver and Release of Liability form must be signed by each participant on every expedition while on sight at Caves Branch. All participants must acknowledge and accept responsibility that expeditions offered by Caves Branch contain a large element of risk and danger to ones well being. Caving,  jungle and river activities, in themselves, due to the nature of the environment, may result in injury or death.
