SNORKEL & ISLAND HOPPING CHARTERS

Safety & Health Considerations
- You should be a confident swimmer, comfortable in open water.
- Seasickness can occur. We recommend taking motion sickness medication before departure if you’re prone.
- Wear a light layer or windbreaker for after your swim as it can get cool on the boat.
- Cameras and waterproof equipment are fine, but no flash photography near whales.
- You must follow all instructions from guides for your safety and the whales’ welfare.
- Pregnant guests or guests with serious health conditions should inform us in advance; we may require a medical clearance.
- Children or weaker swimmers may be limited to boat viewing rather than in-water time.
Booking Tips & What You Should Plan For
- Book as early as possible because slots are limited, especially in peak months (August–September).
- Allow some buffer days in your travel plan as sometimes charters are postponed or canceled due to weather or sea conditions.
- Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a dry change of clothes.
- Water temperature typically ranges around 24–26 °C (≈75–79 °F) during whale season that short wetsuits (2–3 mm) are usually sufficient.
- Stay flexible — the ocean is wild, and every day is different.
