The Experience
Before You Go

Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and polarized sunglasses—UV is strong on the water even on cloudy days.
Know your sea tolerance
Bring motion-sickness tablets if you’re prone to nausea; seas can be choppy between bays.
Bring ID for alcohol
Alcohol is provided to guests 18+—carry ID if you plan to drink and plan responsibly.
Respect the reef
Do not stand on or touch coral while snorkeling; use a marine-safe sunscreen and avoid feeding fish.
