Sunlight slants through coconut palms as a private van pulls away from Coxen Hole and the island opens up — cobalt ocean on one side, low limestone ridges and scattered mango trees on the other. The day moves at a clean, practical pace: a short cultural stop, a taste of local chocolate, a quick eco-park walk to find sloths and macaws, then into the reef where the water takes over and colors tempo change.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe SPF before arrival and reapply with a towel to avoid sunscreen in the water; it helps protect coral health.
Bring a fitted snorkel mask
A well-fitting mask reduces fogging and lets you focus on the reef rather than adjusting gear mid-swim.
Watch the tide and timing
Morning snorkels usually have better visibility and calmer seas; if prone to motion sickness, choose the earlier slot.
Respect wildlife distance
Keep a respectful distance from sloths, macaws, and monkeys in the eco-park—no feeding or chasing to avoid stress and aggression.
Mask and snorkel
A snug mask improves comfort and visibility on the reef.
