The Experience

Before You Go

Footwear for trails and ATVs

Closed-toe shoes with good grip protect feet on buggies and rocky paths; reef shoes are useful for the coral-rich shore at the beach club.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Protect the coral and your skin—use biodegradable sunscreen and reapply before beach time.

Hydrate and pack a light change

Carry a refillable bottle and a quick-dry shirt; humidity and sun make a dry change for the beach pleasant.

Follow the guide’s safety briefing

ATV handling and zipline protocols are brief but essential—listen closely to equipment checks and track rules.
