Tips & guidelines

• Check weather forecasts before departing. In cooler months, pack an extra layer as coastal winds and sudden shifts can make it feel colder.
  
• Wear comfortable walking shoes to navigate uneven terrain. Closed-toe options offer better grip and protect your feet during extended walks.
  
• Bring a small backpack stocked with essentials like water, a healthy snack, and a fully charged phone to stay connected and capture moments.
  
• Maintain respectful behavior during tours by speaking softly, following guide instructions closely, and avoiding disruptions to preserve local ambiance.
  
• Schedule your experience early during winter months; shorter daylight hours require optimal timing to enjoy natural lighting and a relaxed pace.
