Planning notes: Private Sunset Cruise from Praslin Island
Boat trips depend on sea conditions, and operators may change the route or timing for safety. Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sun protection and a hat, and keep valuables in a dry bag.
Sea conditions follow the seasons: the south-east trade winds, roughly May to October, can make open water choppier, while April and the weeks around October and November are often the calmest months for boat trips.
