Take anti-nausea medication early
If you’re prone to sea sickness, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure—conditions can change rapidly outside the lagoon.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and cover-ups
Use reef‑safe SPF and a long‑sleeve rashguard to protect skin and marine life during long sun exposure on deck and in the shallows.
Wear water shoes for transfers
Transfer boats and rocky islet landings can be slippery—water shoes improve traction and protect feet from sharp coral.
Carry ID for alcohol service
Alcohol is served on board after leaving the lagoon; bring ID if you plan to drink as the operator enforces age rules.
