The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning pickups

Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes protect toes from vibration and mud on uneven trails.
Hydrate before you ride
Bring a water bottle or hydration bladder; the tropical heat and exertion make regular sipping essential.
Declare health conditions
Operators require disclosure of pregnancy, heart, or spinal issues—be upfront to avoid safety risks.
