Adventure Tips
Bring a light jacket for cooler evening breezes
Evenings on the water can get chilly as the sun sets, so layering up helps you stay comfortable.
Apply sunscreen before boarding
UV rays reflect off the water, so protecting your skin is important, especially during early sunset hours.
Arrive early to familiarize with the boat
Arriving 10-15 minutes ahead helps you get comfortable and receive any safety instructions from your captain.
Bring a camera or smartphone for sunset photos
Capture the stunning colors and scenic views, but also be mindful of not distracting the captain.
