Take reef-safe sunscreen
Use only reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect coral and stay protected under strong equatorial sun.
Bring a dry bag
Protect phones, wallets, and cameras with a small dry bag—wet decks and splashes are common during boarding and snorkeling.
Time for morning departures
Morning cruises usually have calmer seas and better visibility for snorkeling; afternoons can be windier and choppier.
Address seasickness early
If you get motion sick, take preventative medication 30–60 minutes before departure and sit midship where motion is minimized.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin while keeping coral and marine life safe.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
You’ll swim and relax at a beach club; quick-dry fabrics save space and weight.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry during boarding and snorkeling.
Light wind layer and hat
A thin windbreaker and brimmed hat help on cooler, windy stretches of the crossing.
