We suggest the following:

1. Arrive early. We begin boarding half an hour before the scheduled departure time. Note, we will leave the terminal promptly at 11 for March and April sailings, and 10:30 for sailings from May onward.
2. Bring sun protection. We suggest hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses to help protect you from the sun and glare out on the water.
   Wear warm clothes. We recommend layering clothes for any potential weather changes throughout the trip.
3. Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, binoculars are available for rent onboard.
4. Consider a camera. We encourage our guests to capture photos onboard but will also offer the opportunity to purchase photos from your tour, taken by our naturalists.
5. Curiosity at the ready. In addition to the beautiful sights and sounds of the Salish Sea, you will have access to various educational materials for the duration of your voyage, as well as commentary from and access to our professional marine naturalist who will guide you through the experience as we explore our waterways.
