Adventure tips

Hydrate for a tropical dayCarry a reusable water bottle; ice and bottled water are available but staying hydrated keeps energy up during market walks and the chocolate workshop.

Wear closed-toe walking shoesMarkets and viewpoints involve uneven pavement and short trails—comfortable shoes reduce blister risk and make standing during workshops easier.

Bring local currency and small billsCastries Market vendors and small food stalls often prefer EC dollars or cash for quick purchases; credit cards work at larger shops.

Plan for traffic variabilityAllow flexibility in your schedule; roadworks or cruise ship times can shorten stops—prioritize what you want to see most.

Lightweight daypack: Carries purchases, camera, sunscreen and a light rain layer.
