The bow cuts a bright ribbon through warm Indian Ocean water as the outline of Big Sister Island grows sharper — granite rock rising like an old guardian from turquoise glass. Salt lifts from the bow, reef fish flash beneath, and the captain points toward a shallow bommie where the current teases you into the water.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe, mineral-based sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly on the boat to protect coral and marine life.
