No dress code is necessary to follow. However, as the weather stays hot and uncomfortable during day time, it is better to wear comfortable clothes. Men can wear cotton pants, t-shirts, or shorts. Women can wear pants and T-shirts. If you are coming during winter, don’t forget to bring a light jacket.

Besides, the safety of our guests is our primary concern; thus, we only offer heavy-duty vehicles like Land Cruisers, Hummers, or Prado.
