Adventure Tips

Bring sunscreen and protective clothing

Long hours on the water mean strong sun exposure; gear up to prevent sunburn.

Stay hydrated throughout the trip

Saltwater environments can dehydrate you quickly; bring plenty of water or use provided supplies.

Wear non-slip shoes

Boat decks can get wet and slippery, so footwear with grip keeps you safe.

Secure personal items

Strong winds and spray mean loose things can get lost—keep valuables stowed in dry bags or pockets.
