Tips before you go
Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof bag for your phone. Seas can be rough from May to October, when the boat operator may change the route for safety.
Which option should you choose?
Shared (SIC) trips are the best value for couples and small families. Private transfers cost more per vehicle but are often cheaper per person for groups of four or more, and you choose your own pickup time. Ticket-only options suit travellers who already have a car or driver.
