Go early for calmer seas
Morning departures usually offer clearer water and less boat motion, improving visibility through the hull and while snorkeling.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before you board to protect coral and avoid greasy residue on masks.
Bring a well-fitting mask
Although snorkel gear is provided, a personal mask prevents leakage and fogging for better underwater sightings.
Take seasickness precautions
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication beforehand and sit mid-ship where motion is least felt.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces mask-smearing while shielding your skin from tropical sun.
Personal snorkel mask
Provides better fit and visibility than loaner masks, especially for frequent snorkelers.
Light swim shirt or rash guard
Adds sun protection and helps prevent chafing on the boat and in the water.
Small dry bag or zip pouch
Keeps phone, ID, and cash dry while boarding and during short excursions.
