Bring a waterproof camera
You’ll pass dramatic cliffs and snorkeling spots—protect your camera in a dry bag to capture the day.
Wear water shoes
Rocky beaches and slippery boat landings make closed-toe water shoes useful both for entering kayaks and exploring shorelines.
Hydrate and pack electrolytes
Eight-hour days in sun and salt demand more than one bottle; bring extra fluids or electrolyte tabs.
Watch the forecast
Operators cancel in rough conditions—if winds pick up the sea becomes choppier and visibility for snorkeling drops.
Swimsuit and quick-dry layers
Wear under a wetsuit or alone for comfort during paddling and snorkeling
