The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV-rated sunglasses—tropical sun and reflected water magnify exposure.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before departure and choose a seat near the boat’s center for the smoothest ride.
Handle fish safely
Use a dehooker or wet gloves to reduce stress on barramundi; ask your guide about catch-and-release best practices.
Bring ID and essentials
Carry passport or ID for ticketing/pickup and a small dry bag for phone, camera and cash for gratuities.
