Pick morning departures

Bring motion‑sickness relief
If you’re sensitive to motion, take medication before boarding and choose a mid‑ship seat near the waterline.
Wear non‑slip shoes and swimwear
Decks can be wet; quick‑dry clothing and reef shoes make getting on and off the boat easier if you hop ashore.
Carry small cash for gratuities
Tipping is appreciated for crew service and helpful for small purchases ashore if the tour stops at a beach kiosk.
Reef‑safe sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin and local coral ecosystems from UV exposure during open‑deck cruising.
