Choose a morning departure
Morning runs tend to have calmer seas and softer light for photos; afternoon winds can make open crossings choppier.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The boat provides shade, but you'll be in direct sun during swim stops—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
Non‑slip shoes for boarding
