Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply biodegradable sunscreen before and after snorkeling to protect marine life and your skin.
Wear water shoes
Entries are rocky — water shoes protect your feet on slippery limestone and when climbing back aboard.
Know your swimming comfort
This trip suits those comfortable in waist‑deep to chest‑deep water; notify staff if anyone is nervous or needs a life vest.
Protect valuables
Use provided lockers or a small dry bag — phones and keys don’t fare well in salt spray or on jumpy decks.
