Bring a light jacket
Even on warm days the evening breeze over the lagoon can feel cool; a thin windbreaker keeps you comfortable on deck.
Choose flat, non-marking shoes
The boat recommends flat shoes for safety and comfort while embarking, disembarking, and moving around the deck.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and marine life—apply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding to avoid contact with reef ecosystems.
