Car Requirements:
A 4x4 is NOT necessary; small sedan cars can make the trip. However, very low sports cars may encounter difficulties due to some potholes on the road.
We anticipate high tide conditions. For your safety, we strongly recommend against driving in the mud. Please refrain from driving your vehicle into the muddy areas to avoid any potential risks. Instead, kindly park your vehicle outside the camp. There will be a short walk of approximately 200 meters to reach the training spot.
Tips:
For your utmost comfort, it is highly recommended that you change into swimwear or clothes that do not easily absorb water upon arrival. For those who suffer with motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medicine 30 minutes prior to the activity.
Make sure to park your vehicle outside the camp area and pack waterproof swim shoes or slippers. The terrain is rocky, muddy and over-slippery, especially during high-tide season.
