Arrive early for the boat
Speedboat schedules are fixed—arrive at Sanur harbor with extra time to spare to avoid last-minute stress.

Apply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water to protect coral and reduce the need to reapply while snorkeling.
Respect currents while snorkeling
Follow guides’ instructions—use a buddy system and stay near the group; currents can be stronger than they look.
