Use Non‑Slip Shoes

Protect Against Sun and Spray
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a light wind layer—the sun is strong on the sundeck and sea spray cools quickly.
Carry Small Local Cash
Vendors on islands or small souvenir sellers may prefer cash for purchases or tips.
Non-slip walking shoes
Provide traction on wet cave steps and sandy island trails.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated in tropical sun is essential; refill aboard where allowed.
Light waterproof jacket
Useful in early-season drizzle or cooler breezes on the sundeck.
