Adventure tips

Arrive Early for Smooth BoardingBe ready at pickup: morning departures avoid late-afternoon chop and maximize calm snorkeling windows.

Use Reef-Safe SunscreenWear a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen or a UV shirt—chemical sunscreens harm coral and you’ll be exposed for hours.

Secure Motion-Sickness RemediesIf you get seasick, take medication the night before and again before departure; choose a seat mid-boat where motion is least felt.

Respect the ReefDon’t touch or stand on coral; maintain slow, controlled kicks to avoid stirring sediment and damaging fragile colonies.

Recommended gear

Rashguard or UV shirt: Protects against sun and jellyfish while preserving sunscreen use.
Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and marine life; apply before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Light waterproof bag or dry bag: Keeps phone, wallet and a spare shirt dry on the boat.
Mask strap or anti-fog solution: Prevents lost masks and reduces fogging for better underwater photos.
