Deciding what to wear to Harrison's Cave depends on your ticket. The underground tram tour is relaxed, but the Chukka Eco-Adventure Park has strict safety requirements for its high-adrenaline activities. Read on for the exact dress code and packing list.
Is there a dress code for the Harrison's Cave tram tour?
There is no strict clothing dress code for the tram tour, but safety gear is required.
You must wear a hairnet and a helmet at all times inside the cave. The park provides both items before you board the electric tram. Bring a hair tie to secure long hair under the helmet. Light, casual clothing works best. The cave maintains a steady temperature of 27°C (80.6°F), so you do not need heavy layers.
Do I need closed-toe shoes for Harrison's Cave?
You need closed-toe shoes only if you book the zipline or challenge course.
Sneakers are mandatory for the Monkey Zipline and the Gully Challenge Course. You cannot participate in these activities wearing sandals or flip-flops. If you only book the Signature Tram Pass, you can wear open-toed shoes. However, sneakers remain a smart choice for walking the outdoor nature trails.
What should I wear for the Eco-Adventure Park activities?
Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes for the high-ropes courses.
The Monkey Zipline uses heavy harnesses that wrap around your legs. Long pants prevent the straps from rubbing against your skin. A light t-shirt is ideal for staying cool while navigating the 14-element obstacle course.
Can I wear a swimsuit at Harrison's Cave?
You can wear a swimsuit at the outdoor Green Monkey Pool, but not inside the cave.
Swimming inside the cave's subterranean pools is strictly prohibited. You should pack swimwear to use the open-air pool overlooking the Jack in the Box Gully. Bring a towel and a change of dry clothes if you plan to visit the Mount Gay Rum tasting room afterward.
What else should I pack for Harrison's Cave?
Bring sun protection, hydration, and a waterproof cover for your electronics.
Use a waterproof phone pouch to protect your camera from dripping water inside the cave. You also need sunscreen for the outdoor aviary and trails.
How cold is Harrison's Cave?
The cave is not cold; it stays at a constant 27°C (80.6°F) all year.
Unlike many caves in cooler climates, Harrison's Cave is warm and humid. You will not need a sweater or jacket underground.

Can I wear flip-flops to Harrison's Cave?
