The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a passport if visiting the BVI
If your captain plans to include British Virgin Islands stops, everyone on board must carry a current passport and expect a short customs check; inform the operator ahead of time.
Come early for calm water snorkeling
Book a morning slot for the clearest snorkel conditions and smaller crowds around reefs; mid-morning winds can stir surface chop.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral and reapply frequently—especially after swimming.
Secure loose items and footwear
Bring a small dry bag for phones and slip-on reef shoes for rocky beach exits; the boat’s deck can be slippery when wet.
