Operators use standard boats for short crossings; lifejackets are provided but check with the operator if traveling with infants or mobility concerns.
Peruvian soles are standard; Spanish and Quechua or Aymara are commonly spoken on the islands. Credit cards are limited on islands so carry cash.
Tipping is appreciated for guides and boat crews; a modest tip after a good service is customary and supports local livelihoods.
