Check the route to the boat
Ask about parking or drop-off, dock surfaces, ramps, steps, gangway width and distance to the vessel. Accessibility challenges can begin before boarding.
Confirm the vessel layout
Ask about seating, handrails, restroom access, space for mobility devices and whether the device can be stored safely. Request photos or a detailed description of the exact boat.
Understand water entry
Snorkeling may require climbing a ladder, stepping down from a platform or entering from a beach. Ask whether the guest can remain aboard while others snorkel.
Get confirmation in advance
Do not rely on a general statement that a tour is accessible. Share the equipment or assistance needed and request written confirmation after the operator checks the actual vessel and dock.
