Adventure Tips
Wear Water-Friendly Footwear
Water shoes or sandals that can get wet are best for riding into the sea and protecting your feet on sandy and rocky terrain.
Arrive Hydrated and Early
Arriving 15 minutes before the start allows time for orientation and helmet fitting; bring water to stay hydrated but drink it before mounting as there’s no water storage on the ride.
Apply Sunscreen in Advance
The ride takes place during sunset, but UV rays remain strong; apply sunscreen and bug spray before arrival to protect yourself without halting the tour.
Know Weight and Swim Requirements
Riders must weigh under 190 lbs and be comfortable swimming as the tour involves riding into shallow sea waters.
