The Experience
Before You Go
Driver’s License Required
If you plan to drive a double buggy you must bring a valid driving license; non-drivers can ride as passengers.
Closed-Toe Shoes
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for buggy control and zipline platform approaches—sandals are not recommended.
Hydrate and Snack
Bring a refillable water bottle and eat lightly before the ride; an organic fruit platter is provided but the sun can sap energy quickly.
Secure Personal Items
Use zippered pockets or a dry bag; wind on dunes and speed on the lines will dislodge loose items.

Conservation Note
Operators typically emphasize low-impact routes and limit access to sensitive beach areas; use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid disturbing dune vegetation to reduce erosion.
The north coast grew around fishing villages and agricultural estates; traces of colonial-era trade and local rum-making persist in small coastal towns.
