The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a filled water bottle
Hydration is key—carry at least 500–750 ml as stops are brief on this 2-hour loop.
Use closed-toe shoes
Sneakers or light hiking shoes give better pedal control than sandals.
Check weight/height limits before booking
Maximum rider weight is around 100 kg and minimum height about 1.50 m—notify the operator of outliers.
Ride early or late for soft light
Start times near sunrise or late afternoon avoid heat and offer the best photo light over the bay.
