The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the ride
Bring a 20–32 oz refillable water bottle; e-bike assistance masks exertion and you can still dehydrate quickly in the sun.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers protect toes during short unpaved sections and when mounting/dismounting the bike.
Plan for coastal wind
Wind from the Gulf can be strong—dress in a light windbreaker and secure loose items to avoid buffeting.
Charge your phone and keep tickets handy
Tours are mobile-ticketed; full battery helps with navigation, photos and contacting your guide if needed.
