Sun protection, comfortable clothes, a change of clothes if swimming, reef-safe sunscreen for water activities, and any personal medications. Full packing details are sent in your confirmation.

What happens if the weather is bad on our tour day?

If weather makes the tour unsafe or the destination inaccessible, the tour is rescheduled at no charge or fully refunded. Staff monitor conditions and notify you the evening before if there is any concern. Whale shark and island hopping tours are the most weather-dependent.
