Salt air pushes at your collar; the sea ahead is active, daring you to look for movement at the surface. Within minutes the coastline opens into a sequence of cliffs, caves and limestone arches that have been carved by the Atlantic’s relentless work.

Book morning slots for calmer seas
Dolphin sightings and smoother water are more likely early in the day; afternoons can be windier and choppier.
Bring waterproof sun protection
High UV and reflected light off the water make high‑SPF, water‑resistant sunscreen essential.

Wear swimwear under clothing and carry a compact towel—the crew often makes several short snorkeling stops.
Pack motion‑sickness remedies
If you’re sensitive to motion, take preventative medication or use a patch before boarding; the Atlantic swell can build unexpectedly.
