Adventure tips

Boarding and footwearWear slip-resistant sandals or deck shoes for safe boarding and moving around wet decks; avoid flip-flops during maneuvers.

Sun protectionBring reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses—reflection off the water intensifies sun exposure all day.

Hydration and snacksEven with bottled water and light snacks provided, carry a reusable water bottle and any personal snacks for dietary needs.

Snorkeling etiquetteUse provided snorkeling gear but avoid standing on seagrass beds; rinse equipment after use to reduce salt corrosion.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and local marine ecosystems under prolonged sun exposure.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel: For swims and fast drying between stops on a multi-bay day trip.
Light windbreaker or waterproof layer: Useful for cooler mornings, spray on open-water crossings, or sudden weather changes.
Deck shoes or secure sandals: Provide grip on wet decks and safe footing while boarding and moving around the catamaran.
