Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen and apply before arrival to avoid contaminating reef waters.
Hydrate before you start
Fill reusable bottles at the Visitor Center; the hike is short but tropical heat can deplete you quickly.
Shoes for rock and sand
Closed‑toe water shoes or sturdy sandals protect feet on the uneven trail and rocky beach entry.
Timing matters for visibility
Morning departures often have calmer seas and better visibility for snorkeling; expect afternoon showers in summer.
Reusable water bottle (1–2 L)
Hydration is critical in tropical sun and there are refill opportunities at the Visitor Center.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on rocky trail sections and when entering the reef from shore.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the coral ecosystems—apply before arriving on the beach.
Light daypack and quick-dry towel
