Adventure tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreenUse mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral and reduce skin irritation during long sun exposure on deck and while snorkeling.

Pack non-slip shoesA pair of water shoes or sandals with grip helps on wet gangways and limestone paths during short hikes.

Time your trip for calm seasBook morning departures for better snorkeling visibility and gentler conditions; afternoons can be windier and choppier.

Carry seasickness remediesIf you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit midship where movement is least noticeable.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and marine life during prolonged sun exposure while snorkeling and on deck.
Water shoes: Improves traction on wet steps and rocky shorelines during short island hikes.
Light windbreaker: Useful for cooler mornings and spray during open-water crossings, especially in monsoon transition months.
Travel seasickness medication or wristbands: Reduces discomfort on choppy crossings; take before boarding if you’re susceptible.
