Bring eye protection
Dust and spray kick up quickly on open trails—wraparound sunglasses or goggles protect eyes and improve visibility.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes help with throttle control and protect feet during quick dismounts.

Warm tropical sun and physical activity dehydrate fast—carry water and apply reef-safe SPF before any beach swim.
Secure electronics in a dry bag
Phones and cameras are at risk during river crossings and beach stops—keep them sealed and accessible.
Full-face or open-face helmet (may be provided)
Protects your head and face from spray, branches and dust—many operators still provide helmets so confirm in advance.
