Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Caribbean sun is strong even on cloudy days—apply broad-spectrum SPF and reapply after time outdoors.

Carry a refillable bottle; shops are available during your free time but bring water for the chairlift and summit stops.
Confirm height/weight limits in advance
Attraction safety rules list height 52–80 inches and 80–275 lbs—check these before you book to avoid surprises.
Sun hat & sunglasses
Blocks strong sun during summit viewpoints and while walking during free time.
Light waterproof jacket
Useful for brief tropical showers, especially in fall and summer.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provides traction on uneven estate paths and short uphill segments to viewpoints.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated through chairlift stops and during the two-hour free period.
