Tips & tricks for your adventure

Preparation tips

Check the weather forecast for the day of your trip. Dress in layers as it can get chilly on the water. Don't forget seasickness medication if you're prone to it.

Essential items

Don't forget your camera, sunscreen and a hat. Also pack some snacks and water for the trip.

Respecting marine life

Respect the marine life and follow the guide's instructions for a safe and enjoyable trip.

Food & hydration

Bring enough water to stay hydrated and pack light, non-perishable snacks. Avoid heavy meals before the trip to prevent seasickness.

Sun protection

Sunscreen is a must. Wear a hat and sunglasses too: the sun's reflection off the water intensifies UV exposure.

Tips for families

Kids wear life jackets at all times. Bring games or activities to keep them entertained, plus extra clothes and snacks.

Photography tips

On a boat, use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion and a polarizing filter to reduce glare. Protect your gear from salt spray.

Enjoy the moment

Capture the memories, but put the camera down now and then and take in the beauty of the marine life and the serenity of the sea.
