Helmet fit and briefing
Pay attention to the pre-ride safety briefing and insist on a properly fitted helmet—most incidents stem from poor fit or inattention.
Dress for changing light
Bring a light windproof layer; temperatures drop quickly after sunset near the coast.
Protect electronics
Use a zip-lock or dry pouch for phones and cameras—coastal spray and dust are common on open quads.

Stay on designated tracks and follow the guide through agricultural areas to avoid damaging olive groves and terraces.

Protects feet during riding and short walks at stops.
