Bring closed-toe shoes
Paths around plantations and tunnel entrances are uneven and can be muddy—sturdy shoes protect your feet.
Hydrate before boarding
Carry a refillable bottle; the combination of sun, cycling and confined tunnel areas can dehydrate you quickly.
Expect narrow tunnels
Tunnel access is optional—those with claustrophobia or mobility issues should remain at surface exhibits.
Protect from sun and insects
Use sunscreen and light long sleeves during bike sections; mosquito repellent is useful near riverine vegetation.
