Book morning departures
Mornings usually offer calmer seas and clearer water for the Blue Cave’s optical effect and smoother snorkeling conditions.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
The Adriatic is usually calm but open-water crossings can roll; take prevention if you are prone to seasickness.
Protect electronics
Use the provided waterproof backpack or bring a dry bag—phones and cameras will get splashed during stops and boarding.
Respect marine habitats
Avoid stepping on seagrass or corals when snorkeling and use reef-safe sunscreen to limit environmental impact.
