The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early for Check-In
Plan to be at the Kuhio Village Tower lobby at least 15 minutes before departure to complete gear check and receive instructions.
Hydrate Lightly Before Riding
Bring a 500–750 ml water bottle; the ride is short but sun exposure is significant on open sections.
Wear Closed Shoes

Apply reef-safe sunscreen and consider a light long-sleeve layer for mid-day rides to avoid sunburn.
