UV intensity is high locally. Please bring sun hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun-protective clothing to avoid sunburn.
Some areas of the Ghost City of the Great Sea Road have no mobile signal. Download offline maps before departure and follow the guide’s arrangements during the tour; do not leave the group without permission.
