Arrive hydrated and fed
Bring a water bottle and a light snack for before boarding—coffee is available at the pier but the day is long and active.
Wear water shoes

Protect against sun and reflections
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses—the bay’s reflected light is intense even on cloudy days.
Plan for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive medication before boarding; open-air seating and fresh air help reduce symptoms.
Dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps phone, camera and dry clothes protected during wet transfers and kayaking.

Protects skin while minimizing harm to coral and marine life during snorkeling and swimming.
