Arrive hydrated
Bring a full water bottle and a small cooler for hot days—2 hours of sun and paddling dehydrates quickly.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Oxybenzone-free sunscreen protects your skin and the coral ecosystems the mangroves help sustain.
Secure electronics
Use a dry bag or waterproof case; spray salt and splashes can damage cameras and phones.
Practice basic paddle technique
A quick 5–10 minute demo at the start keeps the group efficient and helps avoid shallow-root collisions.
