Arrive early for calmer seas
Morning launches usually have lighter winds and clearer water for snorkeling, making both paddling and visibility easier.
Wear secure footwear
Rocks around the estuary and cliffs are slippery—closed-toe water shoes reduce cuts and improve stability when exiting the kayak.
Respect Posidonia seagrass
Avoid anchoring or standing on seagrass beds when snorkeling—these meadows are fragile and essential to coastal ecosystems.
Bring a dry change of clothes
A change of clothing keeps you comfortable for the return to Split; organizers recommend it for post-paddle transit.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on rocky exits and provides traction on wet cliffs.
