Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Red Sea’s corals are sensitive—use mineral-based sunscreen to protect reefs and prevent skin irritation after long sun exposure.
Pack a waterproof camera or case
Visibility and marine life are the highlights—secure your phone or camera in a dry bag for photos during snorkeling and on-deck moments.
Prepare for seasickness
Open-water crossings can be choppy; take motion-sickness medication beforehand if you’re prone to nausea.
Follow crew instructions around wildlife
Dolphin encounters are conditional—stay calm, don’t chase, and wear your life jacket when directed to protect both you and marine mammals.
