Book early-morning departures
Sea conditions are often calmer and grotto queues shorter early in the day—aim for the first or second departure.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Docking can mean stepping on wet, uneven surfaces—non-slip deck shoes improve safety and grip.
Prep for motion sickness
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is minimized.
