Tips from local experts:

  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light long-sleeve rash guard; towels and basic gear are provided but a personal rash guard improves comfort in the water.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take motion-sickness medication about 60 minutes before departure; sea conditions can be choppy between San Cristóbal and León Dormido.
  • Bring a small waterproof camera or a secure waterproof case and a small dry bag for personal items—storage on the boat is limited and items can get wet.
