Wear water-friendly footwear
Choose sandals or reef shoes that secure on your foot—sand can be hot and shallow reefs can be sharp during dismounts and water sections.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arrival to protect coral habitats and avoid slick lotions that can irritate horses.
Time for cooler conditions
Book early morning to avoid peak sun and higher winds; calmer seas make the swim portion more comfortable.
Bring a waterproof case
Phones and cameras should be protected; guides take photos but personal waterproof protection avoids accidental water damage.
Swimsuit and quick-dry shorts
Needed for the swim portion and quick comfort after the ride.
Waterproof phone case or small dry bag
Protects electronics during photos in the surf and while boarding transport.
Reef or water shoes
Provides traction on wet sand and protection around reef fragments.
Reef-safe sunscreen and hat
Sun protection is crucial in Jamaica’s strong tropical sun—use reef-safe formulas to protect marine life.
