The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you start
Carry a 1–1.5L refillable bottle; village stops allow refills but options are limited on island stretches.
Expect flat, mixed surfaces
Roads are mostly flat pavement with short dirt or sand stretches—choose closed-toe shoes with good grip.
Protect from sun and insects
Bring high-SPF sunscreen and DEET or picaridin repellent for mangrove edges and ferry waits.
Ask before photographing
Pottery workshops and family homes are working spaces—request permission and keep interactions brief and respectful.
