Take Pictures at the Stops Only
When you ride with a tour group, safety is a priority. Many tours will not allow you to operate cameras or your phones while riding. You should show up with these expectations. It protects you and everyone else around you. If you want photos, you can take them before your tour starts. You will also likely have some stops and breaks along the way. These are great places to take some photos for your memories as well.
While you’re riding, put the phone and camera away and just focus on the ride. Enjoy it and keep it safe. There will be plenty of picture-perfect moments when you aren’t in charge of driving a machine.
Dress Wisely
You’re going to be traveling out there in the boonies. There will be sand, dirt, mud, and who knows what else along the way. You want to wear something comfortable but also protective. Check out the weather before you go. Will it be sunny, hot, or cold? Dress accordingly. You’re probably going to want pants or long shorts, but keep it comfy. Wear a top that won’t get blown up by the wind and provides some coverage from the sun.
You will definitely want sunglasses or a ball cap. This protects your eyes and your head from the sun. If you have long hair, you will likely want to tie it back into a ponytail or braid. Use some sunscreen, as you will be out there exposed to the sun for over an hour with most tours.
Finally, you need to wear comfortable shoes, but also safe shoes. This means don’t wear sandals or flip-flops. Closed-toe shoes are preferred – something that won’t just slip off while you’re riding.
Stay Hydrated
You’re going to be facing the sand, dirt, trees, and lots of sunshine. Hydration is important. You won’t be able to drink a lot of water while you’re driving the ATV, but you can hydrate before, after, and at your stops. If this is a short ride, you can hydrate before and after. If it’s an extended ride, be sure to take advantage of water at the stops along the way.
If you aren’t properly hydrated, it’s easy to get overheated and start to feel ill. This is particularly true on hot days and when you put your safety gear on.
Use Safety Gear Correctly During ATV Tours in Cabo
When you take an ATV tour, the companies provide you with all the necessary safety gear. This gear is required for your ride. It’s not always fun to put on heavy or bulky gear and helmets, but they are necessary. ATV accidents can happen, so protect and prepare in advance to prevent major injuries.
Make no mistake: the gear is not optional. But there are many riders who don’t really use it correctly. You will be taught how to properly use all gear. Use it correctly for your protection.
Let Go and Enjoy
This is a great time to let go of the stress of traveling. Throw off the worries of the world around you. Take this time to just enjoy the adventure. Let go of those things that are eating at your mind and bask in the thrill of the ride. Whether you’re taking a laid-back ride or a full all-day thrill, you can still let go and just soak it in.
We’re here to have fun, right? Your ATV tour is going to be amazing if you just let it be. You won’t be disappointed!
Remember that there are many different tour options, so choose the one that appeals most to you. Keep it totally wild or simply enjoy the sunset as you ride along the beach. Both are equally amazing.
