We load and unload this boat every single day, so we've seen exactly what guests wish they'd packed, and what ends up sitting in a bag the whole trip. Here's the short version.
Bring this
- Reef-safe sunscreen, applied before you get on the boat
- A swimsuit you can wear under your clothes, so you're ready to jump in
- A dry bag or ziplock for your phone and wallet
- A towel (we don't provide these on every tour)
- A light cover-up or hat for the ride between snorkel stops
- A GoPro or waterproof phone case if you want photos in the water
Skip this
- Heavy bags. Storage on deck is limited and you won't need much.
- Your own snorkel gear, unless you have a strong preference. Mask, snorkel and fins are included.
- Glass containers of any kind, for obvious reasons on a moving boat.
One thing people forget
Motion sickness medication, if you know you're prone to it. Aruba's water is calmer than most Caribbean islands, but it's still open water. Take it before you board, not after you start feeling it.
