Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe SPF liberally before boarding and reapply with a towel-dry between swim stops to protect coral and meet local guidelines.
Bring or fit-test a snorkel mask
Snorkel gear is provided, but a personal mask that fits prevents fogging and lets you stay in the water longer.
Wear water shoes
Rocky boat entries and shallow reefs benefit from reef or water shoes to protect feet when entering from the swim platform.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding—downwind legs can be rolly in afternoon breeze.
