Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and coral—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming to protect reefs and avoid fines in reserves.
Wear water shoes
Landings on coral sand and rocky skiffs are easier with grippy water shoes to protect feet from sharp rock and sea urchins.
Morning pickup is calmer
Opt for the earliest pickup to avoid afternoon chop and get the best snorkeling visibility when the lagoon is settled.
Secure seasickness meds
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or use bands before departure—the open crossings can be choppy.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the reef—mandatory for snorkeling and conservation areas.
Water shoes
Useful for rocky landings and walking across coral sand without slipping.
Quick‑dry swimwear and towel
Dries fast between swims and keeps you comfortable during transfers.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry during open-sea runs and splashes.
