Why people book boat days
Sun, swimming, and seeing the coastline from the water. It’s one of the top activities for resort guests.
Typical itinerary
Morning departure, cruise along the coast, stop for snorkel or swimming, lunch on board or at a beach, return mid-afternoon.
Honest expectations
The “snorkel” stop is often very short and visibility is average. Lunch is usually simple (tacos or sandwiches). The ride back can be bumpy.
Tips that save the day
- Choose morning departures.
- Bring your own reef-safe sunscreen and motion sickness remedies.
- Ask exactly what is included (drinks, lunch, gear).
- Tipping the captain and crew is standard if you had a good time.
