You step from the shaded pier and the lagoon answers—turquoise spreading like a promise beneath the hull. A small boat slips away from the crowd, the skipper reading wind and tide, and soon the reef drops away into clear, shallow water where turtles glide and stingrays fan the sand.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply a reef-safe sunscreen before and after snorkeling to protect coral and avoid skin damage; bring a small travel bottle for reapplication on the boat.
Bring a personal mask
Snorkel equipment is provided, but a well-fitting personal mask improves visibility and comfort for longer swims.
Hydrate and snack
Four hours on the water can be dehydrating—drink between snorkeling sessions and use provided snacks to keep energy steady.
Know your swimming limits
Stops are chosen for all skill levels, but tell your guide if anyone in your group is a weak swimmer so they can recommend shallower stops and extra supervision.
