Fly early for calm air
Morning flights typically have smoother wind and softer light for photos.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Small aircraft and low altitudes can trigger queasiness—pack medication or acupressure bands if you’re sensitive.
Use a polarizing lens
A polarizer cuts glare over water and improves contrast for whale and coastline shots.

Wind can catch hats and cameras—use straps and pockets to keep equipment safe.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduces glare and helps you spot wildlife on the water.
Windbreaker or light jacket
Open-cockpit or low-altitude flights can be chilly and breezy.
