Know before you go

  • Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses; the sun is strong at sea.
  • Even in warm weather, a light jacket is useful for wind.
  • Keep your camera ready for wildlife moments.
  • If prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand; the catamaran is stable but not immune to waves.
