Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup and carry a refillable bottle—heat and bumpy rides dehydrate faster than you think.
Protect gear from sand
Use zip bags or camera covers for phones and cameras; sand can jam lenses and electronics in seconds.
Bring motion-sickness aids
Dune bashing is rough; take anti-nausea medication or wrist bands if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Dress in layers
Evenings can cool quickly—light breathable layers for summer, a warm jacket in winter will keep you comfortable.
Closed-toe shoes

Sunscreen and wide-brim hat
