Special Instructions
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tour start time to sign waivers and get fitted for a PFD. Please bring warm, waterproof and/or water resistant layers. This is crucial for those mild, rainy days and could make or break your experience. We operate in rain or shine and there's always a chance you could get splashed on zodiacs. You may also want to bringing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a full, reusable water bottle, especially for the sunny days of summer! We also suggest footwear appropriate for walking/hiking. It’s common for us to beach the zodiac so we can explore various islands. We cannot guarantee that electronics (phones/cameras) will be safe from rain or ocean spray while on tour. We leave it to you to make a judgment call on the day of your tour.
