Bring a valid passport

Prepare for sea conditions
Wind and swell can make the ride choppy; bring a light waterproof layer and take seasickness meds if you’re prone to motion sickness.

Dolphins surface fast and often at a distance—binoculars or a 200mm+ lens will improve viewing and photography.
Respect wildlife viewing guidelines
Remain on deck only where allowed and follow the crew’s instructions to avoid stressing animals and to keep the boat safe among commercial traffic.
Light waterproof jacket
Wind and spray are common on the strait; a packable jacket keeps you warm and dry.
Binoculars or telephoto lens
Helps pick out dolphins and seabirds at distance for better viewing and photos.
Seasickness remedies (patch or pills)
Effective prevention ensures comfort during choppy conditions.
Sun protection (hat, SPF, sunglasses)
Open-deck exposure to sun and reflected water increases UV risk, especially midday.
