Q & A

How do I book my excursion?

You can book your tour over the phone, or via email. Advance bookings are recommended, especially during peak seasons, to secure your preferred date and time.

What is "Reef Safe" sunscreen?

Reef-safe sunscreen is specially formulated without harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can damage coral reefs and marine life. Look for sunscreens labeled as "reef-safe" or "reef-friendly" to protect both your skin and ocean ecosystems.

Can I customize the itinerary for my tour?

We recommend bringing:

Sunscreen
A towel
Comfortable clothing and swimwear
Water shoes or sandals

Do I need to bring my own gear for snorkeling or paddleboarding?

No, Tropic Sun offers complimentary gear, including snorkel equipment, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and underwater scooters upon request. Just let us know what you need when booking!

Do I need to tip the guide?

Tipping is optional but appreciated! If you enjoy the service and experience, a 15–20% tip is customary.

Are food and drinks provided on the tour?

While food is not provided, you’re welcome to bring snacks or request a stop at a local restaurant during your tour. Complimentary bottled water is available in the Jeep

What happens if it rains on the day of my excursion?

Deets

When taking an excursion with Tropic Sun, here are a few details to keep in mind for your comfort and safety:

Open-Air Jeeps: Our Jeeps are open-air, offering unobstructed views and a refreshing island breeze. However, this also means exposure to the sun and occasional rain, so we recommend wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and bringing a light jacket or rain poncho.
Physical Activity: While our tours can be customized to your fitness level, some activities like snorkeling or paddleboarding may require moderate physical effort. Let us know if accommodations are needed.
Restroom Breaks: Our guides ensure stops at facilities during the tour, but it's a good idea to use the restroom before departure.
Storage: Space for small bags is available in the Jeep under the seat, please keep your personal items secure, as we do operate open-air Jeeps.
Wildlife and Nature: Encounters with the island’s natural flora and fauna are common—be sure to pack a camera for memorable shots!
