Bringing a few key items can make your snorkel tour more comfortable and relaxed. Most essentials are provided onboard, so you don’t need to pack much.
Planning ahead helps your day start smoothly.
Essentials to Bring #
Guests commonly bring:
- Reef-safe sunscreen
- A towel
- A hat and sunglasses
- Comfortable clothing for before and after snorkeling
- A light jacket or cover-up, especially in the morning

Keeping items minimal makes storage easier onboard.
Swimwear and Clothing #
It’s helpful to:
- Wear your swimsuit under your clothes
- Choose easy-on, easy-off footwear for the harbor
- Bring dry clothes for after snorkeling if desired
Changing areas may be limited, so arriving ready to snorkel can save time.
Cameras and Personal Items #
You’re welcome to bring:

- Small personal items in a bag or backpack
Because the marine environment can be wet and salty:
- Waterproof cases are recommended
- Valuables should be kept to a minimum
Crew members can help direct you to appropriate storage areas onboard.
Items You Don’t Need to Bring #
Most snorkel tours provide:
- Snorkel gear

Check your confirmation email for specific inclusions so you don’t bring unnecessary items.
What to Leave Behind #
For safety and space reasons, it’s best to avoid bringing:

- Loose items that could fall overboard
Traveling light helps keep the onboard environment organized and comfortable.
