Morning launch
Book a morning slot to avoid stronger afternoon winds and hotter sun; seas tend to be calmer early in the day.
Footwear for two worlds
Wear shoes that drain and grip — neoprene booties or sturdy sandals for paddling, plus shoes that handle rough limestone when ashore.
Hydration & sun protection
Bring 1–2 liters of water per person and SPF; shade is limited along the shoreline and in the olive groves.
Listen to the guide
Guides provide local route knowledge and safety equipment; follow briefings closely for via ferrata or exposed shoreline sections.
