Bring a reusable water bottle
Hydration is key during the 8-hour trip; water is provided but having your own bottle helps reduce waste.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and Hawaii’s fragile marine ecosystems by choosing eco-friendly sun protection.
Pack light layers
Coastal winds and higher elevations at lookouts can get cool; a light jacket or windbreaker comes in handy.
