Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and skin — choose mineral-based sunscreen and reapply often between snorkel stops.
Arrive 15 minutes early
Check in, get fitted for snorkel gear, and hear a short safety briefing before departure.
Pack a light jacket
Even in the tropics the breeze after sunset can be cool; a thin windbreaker makes the last stretch more comfortable.
Secure motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand or use wristbands; the lagoon is usually calm but swell can appear.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Prevents coral damage and protects your skin in tropical sun.
Towel and swimwear
You’ll be in and out of the water for snorkeling and want something dry for the ride home.
Light windbreaker
Useful for cooler breezes after sunset on the open water.
Water shoes or slip-ons
Helps boarding from docks or shallow sandbars and protects feet on rocky shore entries.
