Time the tides
Guides plan stops around tide charts — check tide times for Reversing Falls and sea caves to catch the reversal and low-tide access.
Wear grippy footwear
Sea caves and shoreline ledges are slippery; closed-toe shoes with good traction reduce the chance of slips.
Dress in layers and waterproofs
Coastal wind and spray can be cold even on sunny days — a light waterproof shell is useful year-round.
Arrive early for pickup
Meet at your designated terminal 15 minutes ahead to avoid missing the tour — cruise passengers should confirm terminal instructions.
