Bring sun protection

Hydrate before and during
A small bottle is provided, but bring a refillable bottle for longer summer days—drink early to avoid cramps from seaside wind and sun.
Respect wildlife and markets
Keep distance from turtles and follow your guide’s instructions at fish markets—no feeding or sudden movements to avoid disturbing animals or vendors.
City bike (provided)
The operator supplies a comfortable city bike suited to paved promenades and light coastal tracks.
Helmet
A helmet protects on shared roads and during short gravel sections—many operators provide one but bring your own if preferred.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
Critical for long, exposed stretches along the beach and on the marina promenade.
