Start Early for Calm Seas

Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen
UV is strong on reflection from the water; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and avoid greasy residue on rental snorkeling masks.
Prepare for Motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication and sit mid-boat where motion is least pronounced.
Respect Wildlife Viewing Distances
You’ll view macaques and the Viking Cave from the boat—do not attempt to feed or approach animals and follow crew instructions to protect both you and wildlife.
