Adventure tips

Book Balinese beds earlyReserve a Balinese bed if you want guaranteed shade and shared seating—beds include a bottle of cava for two and fill up fast.

Protect Posidonia seagrassAvoid stepping on or anchoring over seagrass meadows—these habitats keep the water clear and are protected by local regulations.

Prep for seasicknessTake anti-nausea medicine before boarding if you’re sensitive; mid-day swells can make the return choppy.

Bring ID and cash/cardCarry ID for alcohol service and a small amount of cash for rentals or purchases in La Savina.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and the Posidonia meadows that sustain clear waters.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel: Necessary for snorkeling stops and comfortable drying between activities.
Light wind layer: Cuts the chill on the return cruise when the breeze picks up.
Motion-sickness remedies: Tablets or acupressure bands help if you are prone to nausea on open water.
