Adventure tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreenSunscreen protects you on deck and in the water—choose reef-safe formula to protect local coral ecosystems.

Wear closed-toe approach shoesZip-line platforms typically require hiking short, sometimes muddy sections—light trail shoes make transitions safer.

Manage seasickness proactivelyTake antiemetic medication before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness—open-deck catamarans still feel swell.

Hydrate and pace the dayIt’s an eight-hour tour with active elements; carry a refillable bottle and eat the provided lunch to maintain energy.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and the coral ecosystems during deck time and snorkeling.
Closed-toe trail shoes: Useful for the short hikes to zip-line platforms and for stability on wet surfaces.
Light wind layer: Morning sea breeze and late-afternoon wind on deck can be cool; a packable layer is handy.
Seasickness medication: Take before boarding if susceptible—boat movement can catch first-time sailors off-guard.
