Start with the group, not a long checklist
Decide whether the day should focus on relaxed scenery, swimming, snorkeling, sandbar time or views near the Sapona shipwreck. Share ages, swimming comfort and mobility considerations before the route is discussed. A group with first-time snorkelers may need a different pace from experienced swimmers.
Rank the preferred experiences
Choose one or two must-discuss activities and identify the rest as optional. Trying to promise every stop can create a rushed day. Travel time, marine conditions, visibility, tide, permissions and the group’s comfort can affect what is practical.
Keep wildlife expectations responsible
Dolphins and other wildlife move naturally. Sightings cannot be guaranteed, and the route should never depend on chasing or disturbing animals. Ask how the operator approaches wildlife respectfully.
Confirm what is included
Before booking, ask about the proposed departure point, approximate schedule, boat capacity, safety briefing, equipment, food and drink policy, weather process and cancellation terms. Travel-document requirements can change; verify them with the operator and current official government sources.
