The Experience
Before You Go
Stay hydrated
Even a short coastal ride gets warm—carry the bottled water provided and bring an extra bottle on hot days.
Protect from the sun
Wide brim or cap, sunglasses and reef‑safe sunscreen are musts; the Malecon offers little shade mid‑day.
Mind traffic and cobbles
Ride predictably through narrow historic streets and be ready for short stretches of uneven cobblestone.
Charge your phone
A full battery captures photos and acts as backup navigation—consider a small power bank for cruise‑day logistics.
