Good to know
Know before you go
The ticket ages run from 2 to 70. An adult must be included in your booking, and the ride isn't recommended during pregnancy. You don't need a particular fitness level to join.
The riding group can reach 30 people. Your hotel vehicle is private, while the beach outing is shared. Booking as a couple doesn't reserve the guide or the trail for just you.
Collection is set for 30 minutes before the 4 p.m. ride. Keep that earlier pickup separate from your riding time when planning the afternoon. Your private vehicle has air conditioning.
Bad weather can cancel this outdoor ride. An earlier day in your stay leaves more room to rearrange your plans. You shouldn't build the afternoon around a promise of clear skies.
You use a mobile ticket for this booking. Bring the ticket on your phone when leaving your hotel. Water and soda are included, with private transport to the meeting point.
A full refund applies if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled ride. You won't get your payment back for a later cancellation. That deadline comes before the day of your afternoon pickup.
