Sun protection is crucial
Wind can mask sun intensity; wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, a hat under your helmet, and sunglasses.
Expect wildlife interruptions
Baboons and birds may appear on or near paths—stop and follow your guide’s instructions rather than trying to move animals.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Good grip and ankle support make mounting and dismounting on uneven ground safer.
Reusable water bottle (1–2L)
Staying hydrated is essential on exposed coastal roads with limited shade.
Sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, cap)
High UV and reflected glare from the ocean make sun protection necessary year-round, especially in summer.
