Adventure tips

Arrive Early for BoardingPlan to arrive 25–30 minutes before departure to complete check-in and secure a preferred seat on deck.

Bring Seasickness RemediesIf you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication before boarding; the trip is short but the open sea can roll after sunset.

Pack a Light JacketEven in the tropics, the evening sea breeze can be cool—layer up to stay comfortable while watching the sunset.

Protect Camera GearUse a small dry bag or case as spray and condensing deck lights can damage electronics during boarding and disembarkation.

Recommended gear

Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Protects skin during late-afternoon sun exposure while waiting for sunset.
Non-slip deck shoes: Provide traction on wet surfaces and comfortable standing during the cruise.
Light windbreaker or fleece: Blocks the evening breeze and keeps you comfortable after sundown.
Motion-sickness tablets or bands: Useful if you’re sensitive to boat movement, especially in choppier conditions.
