Start early for marine life
Book a sunrise or early-morning tour to increase chances of dolphin and whale sightings and to avoid midday heat.
Pack sun protection

Bring a refillable bottle
Hydration stops are limited on the headland—carry at least 500–750 ml per person, more in summer.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Flat-soled sneakers or cycling shoes give better control on short gravel sections and when dismounting for viewpoints.

Protects your head on mixed terrain; operators typically include helmets but confirm fit.
