Arrive 15 minutes early at Port Olímpic
Boarding windows are tight—allow time for finding the dock and checking in so the captain can depart on schedule.

Sunscreen, a brimmed hat and sunglasses are essential—the sun sits low over open water and reflects strongly as it sets.
Consider motion-sickness prevention
If you get seasick, take medication beforehand or sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest; the cruise is short but the swell can vary.
Follow safety instructions and use provided life jackets
Life jackets are supplied—use them during rough conditions or if you’re not a confident swimmer, especially during the swim stop.
Windproof jacket
Keeps you warm as the sea breeze strengthens at dusk.
