Wear protective footwear
Closed-toe hiking shoes or boots improve control and keep feet safe when splashing through mud and shallow water crossings.
Expect mud and splatter
Bring a quick-dry change of clothes and a small dry bag for electronics — mud will cling to gear and clothing on wet days.
Listen to the safety briefing
Practice throttle and brake responses in the warm-up area; the guide’s instructions reduce risks on steep or slippery sections.
Hydrate before the ride
Tropical humidity and adrenalized riding dehydrate quickly; carry bottled water provided or drink beforehand.
