Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe sunscreen before arrival and reapply in the shade—chemicals in many sunscreens harm coral.
Bring a snug mask
A well-fitting mask prevents fogging and keeps your focus on coral and fish rather than leaks.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Tropical sun and saltwater fatigue add up—drink water before and after snorkeling and rest in the beach club between activities.
Time your return
If coming from a cruise, schedule pickup with buffer time; island traffic and port check‑in can be slower than expected.
