Beat the sun
Bring a wide-brim hat and reef-safe sunscreen—shade on deck is limited and UV reflection off the water intensifies exposure.
Non-slip footwear
Wear water shoes or sandals with good grip for cave steps, wet decks and the short climb at Titov Beach.
Motion-sickness prep
Take a seasickness tablet before boarding if you’re sensitive; the bay is usually calm but chop increases on open stretches.
Cash for souvenirs
Bring small notes for refreshments, tips and local handicrafts—some vendors at floating villages accept only cash.

Provides traction on wet surfaces and comfort for beach and cave visits.
