Wet and wild Kim! Kardashian squeals with shock as she attempts to take a dip in a waterfall while wearing a bikini

Life as a member of the Kardashian reality circus can be tough at times.

Sure, they get flown off to exotic locales just for a change of scenery, but those luxury trips are working holidays.

While the ideal sunshine vacation involves nothing more stressful than one too many cocktails, the Kardashian-Jenners are instead expected to put on a show for the cameras.

And for Kim Kardashian that means stripping off - and taking a dip in a waterfall.

The 36-year-old attempted to do just that over the weekend, as she sidled up to a racing stream of icy water in Costa Rica.

The Kardashian-Jenners decamped to Costa Rica en masse for the quick four-day trip.

From 61-year-old matriarch Kris Jenner to two-year-old Reign Disick, they were a huge crowd. 

Only Kendall Jenner, 20, missed out - preferring to concentrate on her other business interests, with a trip to the office where she is collaborating on a new wireless headphone with Will.i.am.
