Morning departures for calm seas
Book the earliest slot—winds pick up in the afternoon and visibility can drop; mornings mean flatter water and better snorkeling.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and reduce the need to reapply on the water.
Secure seasickness prep
Bring motion-sickness meds if you’re prone to seasickness—sections between islands can feel choppy on windy days.

Carry a small dry bag for phone, wallet and a spare shirt—boats are open and splashes are frequent.
