Boarding involves steps and a low gangway; it’s not recommended for travelers with significant mobility issues or serious back problems—check operator details before booking.
A waterproof case for your phone or a compact waterproof camera is ideal; long lenses aren’t necessary for close dolphin encounters but help for distant whale sightings.
