Bring a snug snorkel mask
Rental masks can fog or fit poorly; a well-fitting mask improves visibility and comfort during 30–40 minute swim stops.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Oils and conventional sunscreens can harm marine life; opt for a reef-safe SPF and reapply before entering the water.
Time your sun exposure
Upper-deck sunbathing is pleasant but strong midday sun can lead to burns—rotate shade and drink water regularly.
Confirm pickup details
If you select hotel transfer, double-check pickup time and location the day before to avoid delays at the pier.
