The Experience
Before You Go
Morning is calmer
Book an early departure for flatter water and better visibility while marine life is active.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens harm coral—apply reef-safe lotion before boarding and bring a UV shirt for extra protection.
Prevent seasickness
If you get motion sick, take medication an hour before boarding and sit mid-ship where motion is least.
Respect the reef
Don’t touch coral or chase animals; your guide will show where it’s safe to snorkel and anchor.
