Adventure Tips

Bring UV Protective Clothing

Long-sleeved, UV-rated shirts and pants help guard against harsh tropical sun exposure during long hours on the water.

Pack Polarized Sunglasses

Polarized lenses reduce glare on water surfaces, improving visibility for spotting fish and ensuring eye comfort.

Use Insect Repellent

Mosquitoes can be active especially near billabongs and estuaries, so insect repellent is recommended to avoid bites.

Prepare for Tide-Based Conditions

Fishing destinations and techniques vary with tides; follow your guide’s advice to optimize your chances throughout the day.
