The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures for calmer waters
Choose an early boarding time—mornings generally offer smoother seas and the best light for photos.
Non-slip footwear only
Gangways and cave floors can be wet; wear shoes with good grip for safety on board and during island stops.
Bring seasickness prevention
Even on calm days, the bay’s chop can affect sensitive travelers—take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.
Pack a dry pouch
Protect cameras and phones from spray when on the open deck or during transfers to smaller boats.
