Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly—protects coral and reduces skin irritation in salt water.
Bring a rash guard or light cover-up
A thin top protects from sun and chafing while snorkeling and doubles as an extra layer on the breezy deck.
Listen to the in-water guide
Guides point out marine life and advise where to float safely to avoid damaging coral; follow their signals closely.
Hydrate and pace alcohol intake
An eight-hour day in sun and salt demands water—consume alcohol after snorkeling to avoid dehydration and impaired judgment in the water.
Swimwear & quick-dry towel
Comfortable swimwear and a quick-dry towel make transitions between boat and beach easy.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral—mandatory for responsible snorkeling.
