The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Coral here is fragile; use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply under shade to protect both you and the reef.
Wear water shoes
Sharp coral and slippery limestone require protective, grippy footwear for landings and sandbar walks.
Carry a waterproof pouch
Keep phone, cash and passports dry during transfers and while snorkeling or walking sandbars.
Plan for tides
The Tup Island sandbar only fully appears at low tide—ask guides about timing if you want to walk it.
