Insider tips
- ★Book the 2-seater buggy if you want a more thrilling, nimble ride through tight plantation paths—4-seaters are steadier but less agile.
- ★Wear quick-dry clothes and secure valuables; river crossings and mud roads mean you *will* get wet and dirty.
- ★Go early in your cruise day or resort stay to maximize daylight for photography and cave exploration.
- ★Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a waterproof phone case—the hidden beaches and rivers are Instagram-worthy.

Who it's for
