Conservation
Operators encourage using reef‑safe sunscreen, avoiding contact with wildlife, and taking all waste ashore—these practices help protect fragile coastal habitats.

Early departures for calm water
Book a morning slot—winds and swell typically pick up later in the day, reducing visibility and comfort for snorkeling.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shore entries and slippery grottos make closed-toe water shoes a practical choice over sandals.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before launch to protect marine life and avoid reapplying in the water.
Pack a small dry bag
Bring a 5–10L dry bag for phone, keys, and an extra layer—lockers are available at the meeting point but not on the kayak.
