Activity Tips
Reef-Safe Sunscreen Only
Protect the coral reefs by using reef-safe sunscreen. Regular sunscreen chemicals damage the fragile reef ecosystems we all love.
Book Guides Early
Popular guides book up fast, especially during peak season. Contact them before your trip to secure your preferred dates.
Morning is Best
Kayaking, snorkeling, and beach activities are best in the early morning when waters are calmest and heat is manageable.
Check Ferry Schedules
Day trips to Hope Town, Man-O-War, and Guana Cay depend on ferry schedules. Check times in advance and plan for a full day.
