I would try contacting them & proceed with hotel bookings (for 2 nights) as soon as we have a decisive count of people joining in. Food is available only in a small shop & needs to be pre-ordered (& made) if the count is more than 5!

0530 AM : Ride on with our bikes onto the beach. Try to get hold of the Sun Rise. Photo Session, Lots of them. Riding on the beach should be amazing

0830 AM : Head onto Point Calimere WildLife Sanctury. Gotta hire a Auto / Car depends on the count (Bikes not allowed inside the Sanctury)
