Conservation
The bay contains Atlantic Forest remnants and sensitive reefs—use reef‑safe products, avoid anchoring on coral and follow crew guidance to minimize impact.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen

Pack a small cooler
A 20‑liter soft cooler is allowed—bring water and snacks for the longer stop at Flechas to avoid kiosk queues.
Prepare for short stops
Each stop lasts 20–30 minutes (lunch ~60 minutes); prioritize snorkeling or a quick beach walk rather than long hikes.
Motion‑sickness prevention
Morning departures are calmer; if prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand and sit mid-boat where motion is least pronounced.
