Adventure tips

Arrive Early to EmbarkParking and check-in at small Agia Kyriaki Beach can be tight—arrive 20–30 minutes early to secure boarding and preferred seating.

Bring Reef‑Safe SunscreenThe water is clear and reflective—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life and reapply during the trip.

Protect Against SeasicknessIf you’re prone to nausea, take preventative medication beforehand and choose a midship seat with a clear view of the horizon.

Pack a Lightweight Dry BagKeep phones, wallets, and spare layers in a small dry bag—boats can be wet when docking or entering caves.

Recommended gear

Swimsuit and Quick‑Dry Towel: Essential for swimming at hot springs and snorkeling stops.
Reef‑Safe Sunscreen: Protects your skin and local marine ecosystems while on deck and in the water.
Water Shoes: Helpful for rocky landings and slippery cave thresholds.
Light Wind Jacket: Evenings and return crossings can be breezy—bring a lightweight layer.
