Arrive at Santa Luzia early
Boarding starts at the central pier—plan to arrive 20–30 minutes early to check in and secure better seating on the boat.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Coral gardens here are fragile; choose mineral-based sunscreen and reapply sparingly to avoid harming marine life.
Prepare for sun and spray
Bring a light wind layer and a hat—mornings can be cool on the water and midday sun is strong when anchored over reefs.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Open bay crossings can be choppy; take preventative medication if you’re prone to seasickness or sit mid-boat for a steadier ride.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects both your skin and the marine ecosystem during prolonged sun exposure on deck and in the water.
