The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use only reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply after snorkeling to protect coral and marine life.
Closed‑toe shoes for ziplines
Secure, closed‑toe shoes improve grip on platforms and during short walks between lines.
Morning timing for visibility
Book early departures when wind is lighter and underwater visibility tends to be best.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry water and take rests between activities — the combo packs moving parts into a half day.
