Wear shoes with high-traction soles as the trail can be slippery and steep in sections.
Bring sufficient hydration as there are no water stations along the mountain trail.
Check local weather forecasts for storm warnings before attempting the hike, as the trail becomes hazardous during heavy rain.
Do not attempt the hike during or immediately following heavy rainfall, as the clay-heavy soil paths become excessively muddy and unstable.
Dress modestly as a sign of respect for local Terengganu culture, and ensure all trash is carried out to maintain the beach environment.
