Insider tips
- ★Book the optional overnight stay at the eco-guesthouse if you want to catch the sunset over the cape—the views are exceptional and the property is genuinely quiet and green-focused.
- ★Bring a light wetsuit or water shoes for Bolata Beach; the pebbled entry can be sharp, and water is cool even in summer.
- ★Arrive early to the meeting point to learn about the reserve's conservation work from local guides—they often share lesser-known details about the fortress history and bird migrations.
- ★Pack sunscreen and a hat; there's minimal shade on the boat and the water reflects UV rays intensely.
