Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The coral is sensitive—use only reef-safe sunscreen and reapply in shaded areas after swimming.
Arrive with swim basics
Basic swimming and comfort in the water make snorkeling more fun; fins and masks are provided but practice breathing through a snorkel if new.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding—open-air catamarans still roll in swell.
Respect wildlife distances
Maintain distance from rays and sharks; your guide will brief on safe viewing—no touching or feeding.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces sunburn during long exposure on deck and in the water.
Light windbreaker or rash guard
Keeps you warm on the return sail and protects against sun and spray.
