Hydrate and carry water
Even short walks under tropical sun dehydrate quickly; bring a refillable bottle or use provided bottled water between stops.
Wear sturdy shoes
Lava fields and rocky viewpoints are uneven — closed‑toe shoes with grippy soles make short hikes safer.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
If you plan to snorkel or swim, apply reef‑safe sunscreen and avoid lotions that harm coral and marine life.
Check sea conditions
Beaches like Étang‑Salé and some coves have strong currents; follow local guide advice before entering the water.
