Insider tips

  • Arrive early at Bayahibe beach to secure a good spot on the catamaran and get prime seating for views during the sail.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and reapply often—the Caribbean sun is intense and reflection off the water increases UV exposure.
  • The natural starfish pool is shallow but crowded; go early in the activity sequence or ask your guide for timing tips to avoid peak crowds.
  • Wear water shoes or bring them in your bag—the sandy approach to the starfish pool can have sharp shells or rocky patches.

  • Lunch is provided; dietary requirements should be mentioned at booking.
  • Bring a waterproof bag or phone case, towel, and change of clothes.
