Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding and bring a small refill—protects corals and avoids mid‑day reapplications while wet.

The ride between coves is short but can be choppy; take motion‑sickness meds or use acupressure bands if you’re sensitive.

Light water shoes make boarding, beach walks and rocky shore entries safer and more comfortable.
Carry a dry bag and water
Keep phones and spare clothing dry; bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated between stops.
Personal snorkel mask
Provided gear is available, but a personal mask improves fit and visibility.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local coral ecosystems during prolonged sun exposure.
Water shoes
Grip and foot protection for rocky beach entries and boat ladders.
Light towel or quick‑dry towel
Dries quickly after snorkeling and is useful for mud‑bath rinse‑offs.
