Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply
Sun is intense on exposed decks; use reef‑safe sunscreen and cover up between swims to protect skin and coral.
Hydrate before and during the trip
Even short boat rides under tropical sun dehydrate quickly—carry water or use provided bottled water.
Prepare for uneven, wet landings
Boarding and short beach walks can be slippery; water shoes with grip reduce the risk of cuts and falls.
Check tides and park rules that day
Maya Bay and lagoon access depend on tide and national park regulations—ask your captain about permitted activities before arrival.
Snorkel mask
Personal masks fit better and fog less than rental gear during snorkeling stops.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing damage to corals and marine life.
Water shoes
Provide traction on wet rocks and protect feet on reefy beaches.
Light waterproof layer or sarong
Useful for wind, sun protection, and modesty when visiting village piers.
