The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral and marine life are sensitive; use reef-safe sunscreen and apply before boarding to limit on-boat smells.
Take motion-sickness meds early
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure—calm seas can change quickly.
Hydrate and snack between stops
Even with drinks provided, bring a personal water bottle and small snacks to stay energized for snorkeling and swimming.
Protect your phone/camera
Use a dry bag or float strap for electronics during snorkeling, beach stops, and boarding in swells.
