Arrive hydrated
Bring an insulated bottle—tropical heat makes frequent hydration essential during instruction and climbs.
Wear grippy approach shoes
The walk to many start points is sandy and rocky; light hiking shoes or sticky-soled trainers make the approach safer.
Protect against sun and spray
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a hat; shade is limited on many cliff platforms and sun reflects off the sand.
Check boat schedules
If you’re coming from the mainland expect a short longtail transfer—arrive early to avoid missed pick-ups and tide delays.
Closed-toe approach shoes
Provide traction on sandy and rocky approaches to cliff bases.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated in tropical heat is critical during training and climbs.
Reef-safe sunscreen and hat
Protects skin from intense sun during exposed approaches and belays.
