This popular tour fills up quickly, especially during high season. Be sure to book directly with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mangrovecenter.com\/tours\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5dc0c9\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Mangrove Centre<\/mark><\/a>.

If you bring a plastic bottle, make sure to remove the label.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack your snorkeling gear as you will be snorkeling during the tour. However, you don&#8217;t need to bring fins as they are not allowed during the tour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small towel is useful to place on your neck if you get warm from paddling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure you can capture photos and videos during the tour. If you don&#8217;t have an underwater camera or GoPro, you can bring your phone.
