Use reef‑safe sunscreen
The reefs are fragile—bring and apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect marine life.
Prevent seasickness
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication before departure or sit mid-ship where motion is milder.
Bring a fitted snorkel mask
Operators provide gear, but a personal mask ensures fit and clearer sighting during the 30–40 minute snorkel.
Carry ID and small cash
Bring ID for pickup and a small amount of cash for tips or beach vendors after the tour.
