Protect from the sun
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses—shade is limited and reflected sun off sand intensifies exposure.

Loose sand and dune slopes make sandals unsafe; trainers or light hiking shoes improve footing for short walks and sand-boarding.
Listen to ATV briefings
Quad segments are participant-operated and responsible—follow instructor guidance, inspect the vehicle, and avoid risky maneuvers.
Pack a small water bottle
Even short trips in the desert dehydrate quickly; bring water and sip frequently, especially in summer.
