Swimwear and layers
Wear swimwear that stays secure while swimming and moving around the boat. A light cover-up or layer can be useful between water stops or when the boat is underway.
Footwear
Use footwear that is secure for boarding and walking on wet surfaces. Ask whether shoes are allowed or need to be removed aboard the specific vessel.
Sun protection
Use a secure hat, sunglasses and suitable sunscreen. Ask whether the operator recommends a rash guard or other protective clothing for longer periods in the water.
Pack dry items
Bring a towel and a change of clothes in a small bag. Protect your phone and valuables from splashes and keep loose items secured.
