Bring ID if you’ll drive a buggy
Operators usually require a valid photo ID and may check age limits for drivers—carry a copy and your original if planning to drive.
Choose closed‑toe shoes
Expect loose sand and rough tracks during the buggy section—sturdy shoes protect toes and improve control when exiting the buggy.
Sun protection is non‑negotiable
Use reef‑safe sunscreen, a wide‑brim hat, and sunglasses—UV exposure is strong even on cloudy days.
Hydrate and pace alcohol intake
The day includes rum tasting and active driving; drink water between tastings and before the buggy segment to stay alert.
Closed‑toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet during the buggy ride and while walking uneven historic streets.
Reef‑safe sunscreen and sunglasses
Prevents sunburn on exposed coastal sections and during outdoor stops.
Light daypack or dry bag
Carries water, ID, swimwear, and valuables for the beach and buggy portions.
Swimwear and quick‑dry towel
Allows a comfortable beach stop after the buggy excursion.
