The Experience
Before You Go
Morning flights for calmer winds
Book a morning time slot when winds are typically lighter and bird activity is higher.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Sturdy sneakers with good tread improve traction on wet platforms and short approach hikes.
Secure cameras with straps
If you bring a camera or phone, use a wrist or chest strap — loose items aren’t permitted during many runs.
Tell guides about medical limits
Disclose any heart, back, or spinal issues before signing waivers; the tour lists health restrictions and requires adult accompaniment for minors.
