The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required for the zipline platforms and more comfortable for horseback riding; avoid flip-flops.
Pack swimwear and quick-dry towel
Wear a swimsuit under your clothes or bring it in a small dry bag — a swim stop is part of the itinerary.
Mind the weight and height rules
Operators enforce a maximum weight of 240 lbs and a minimum child height for safety; check requirements before booking.
Hydrate and use reef-safe sunscreen
Tropical sun and exertion make water and SPF essential; choose reef-safe formulations if swimming near the shore.
