Adventure Tips
Bring sun protection
Florida sun can be intense on the water—wear a hat, sunscreen, and UV-protective clothing for comfort and safety.
Wear water-friendly shoes
Footwear that dries quickly and protects against sharp shells or rocks is ideal for beach stops and island exploring.
Stay hydrated
Though bottled water is provided, bringing a reusable bottle is a good habit to stay fully hydrated throughout the trip.
Plan for variable weather
Gulf Coast afternoons can bring unexpected showers; a light rain jacket or poncho can keep you dry during brief downpours.
