DEPARTURE TIMES

No set schedule because they like to keep you on your toes. Guests must give them a jingle to book this tour. But hey, they do need at least 6 people to even bother.

INCLUDED IN TRIP

Laliza life jackets (a fashion statement, really)

A bottle of mineral water because hydration is the key, baby!

No food allowed, but they insist that a good breakfast is your secret weapon against seasickness. Skip the fatty stuff.

Now, some useful tidbits and tips:

Keep hydrated

Don’t shrivel up like a prune! Guzzle water or ginger ale if you’re feeling fancy, but avoid sugar bombs. They’ll hand you a precious bottle of water before you sail off into the unknown.

Keep Warm!

Because the ocean thinks it’s funny to be colder than land. Layer up and bring extra clothes; you might get wet and chilled. But don’t worry; they’ve got waterproof ponchos for those “extra chilly” days.

Don’t forget the sunblock and sunglasses!

The water is a professional sun reflector. Without protection, you’ll become a lobster. Shield those peepers with sunglasses to avoid glaring mishaps.

Children on boats!

They love having little rascals on board because “education” is their middle name. But this activity isn’t suitable for mini-toddlers under 2 years old. Keep an eye on your ankle-biters; boats are made of hard stuff. Seat them at the back, between two grown-ups, and no acrobatics allowed. One wrong move and they’re airborne. And please, hush the munchkins; loud noises make the crew jumpy and spook other passengers. Safety first, fun…maybe.
