The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for pickup
Be in your hotel lobby 15 minutes before departure to ensure smooth boarding and to avoid delays.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The tour includes snorkeling over coral — use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid sunburn on the open water.
Wear water shoes
Shore landings can be rocky and sandy spits get narrow at low tide; water shoes protect feet and provide traction.

Life jackets are provided, but basic swimming ability and comfort in open water make the experience safer and more enjoyable.
