Local expert tips

• Since this is a "barefoot" cruise, you should wear footwear that can be easily removed before boarding. Not to worry though, the crew will keep them safe throughout the duration of the tour.
• Feel free to ask the crew if they will be fishing during your adventure, and while not guaranteed, it can be some added fun to your morning.
• What to bring: Food and drinks are provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own if they prefer.
• Recommend attire: Guests planning to enter the water should bring a swimsuit, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen. A light hoodie or jacket is also recommended, as it can get chilly on the water after swimming.
