Adventure Tips
Bring Sun Protection
Southern California’s sun is strong year-round—sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are essential during the daytime tour.
Wear Comfortable Footwear
The tour involves walking on piers, promenades, and some uneven boardwalk terrain; supportive shoes with good grip are recommended.
Pack a Light Jacket
Ocean breezes off the Pacific can turn cool, especially near Malibu, so a light windbreaker or layer is useful.
Stay Hydrated
Though bottled water is provided, bringing your own reusable bottle can keep you hydrated throughout the day.
