The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Use a strap for phones and cameras or leave them in the van—gusts and speed make dropped gear a real risk.
Hydrate before you go
Carry a refillable water bottle; short hikes and humidity can dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Confirm cruise reboarding time
Provide your ship name and docking details at booking to ensure timely pickup and return to the pier.
Expect variable footing
Platforms and trails may be wet and slippery after rain—sturdy, grippy shoes matter more than style.
