The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use mineral or reef‑safe sunscreen for snorkeling to protect coral; apply before arrival to avoid delays.

Sturdy sneakers or approach shoes give grip on platforms and during short hikes between lines.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and motion‑sickness meds dry on the boat and between activities.

Drinking water before boarding and syncing pickup with your ship’s schedule reduces stress and missed departures.
