It’s time to get ready for your adventure! To help you prepare, please find below our guide on what to bring with you on your upcoming voyage.
Clothes
Comfortable walking shoes/boots and sandals
Wet landing shoes: A pair of reef shoes, Velcro sandals or old walking shoes that you are prepared to throw away are all ideal. These are essential for all wet landings. Please note that bare feet or flip flops are not permitted for safety reasons.
Waterproof Trousers: Consider a light pair of waterproof nylon trousers if you want to be completely dry on the Zodiac.
Footwear: Comfortable shoes for onboard the ship. Make sure they have good grip for the outside decks. Slip on shoes or moccasins are ideal for indoors. For health and safety reasons, please wear enclosed shoes in public areas while onboard the ship.
