Before You Go

Prepare for motion
If you are prone to sea sickness, take medication before boarding and choose a seat in the middle of the yacht.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep your phone, documents and the starter kit pouch dry; bathrooms are limited to basic facilities onshore.

Conservation Note
The reefs and seagrass beds around the Southern Islands are sensitive—use reef‑safe products, avoid trampling shoreline habitats and take all litter back to the mainland.
Lazarus Island is one of Singapore’s Southern Islands; nearby St. John’s served as a quarantine and hospital site in colonial times, and the archipelago’s low sandstone and coral formations reflect that layered human use.
