The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Bring only reef‑safe sunscreen to protect corals and avoid lotions that harm reef life.
Wear water shoes
Rocks and stairways at viewpoints and some shore entries are slippery and uneven—sturdy water shoes help.
Prepare for boat motion
Fast-boat crossings can be choppy; take motion-sickness meds beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.
Time Angel's Billabong
Visit at low tide to safely enter the rock pools; avoid the area at high tide when waves surge.
