Timing matters
Book a morning or late-afternoon slot to avoid the hottest hours and to get firmer sand underfoot for easier climbing.
Hydrate well
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person; coastal winds make sun exposure deceptive and thirst accumulates quickly.
Footwear and footing
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes or trail runners — sand hides uneven surfaces and provides little grip for sandals.
Respect private land
Stick to the dunes and designated paths; nearby banana farms and villages are working land and should be treated respectfully.
Closed-toe trail shoes

1–2 liter water bottle or hydration bladder
