What to bring:
Water bottles for each person.
Sunscreen is a high factor.
Insect repellent.
Camera & dry bag storing the camera.
Swimsuit in the summer
Good, comfortable shoes

Holding the oar correctly: the distance between the 2 hands should not be too close or too far, it should be just over shoulder-width apart, and the concave part of the oar should be facing backward.
Be Energetic. Don’t be afraid to use some force.
Be away from cave entrances. The current is strong. You may be drawn into the cave if you get too close.
Keep a good distance between other kayaks to avoid unnecessary collisions.
