Advice: Don´t forget to take a pill for sea sickness if you aren’t use to sailing. Bring a coat as the temperature at sea is always lower than on land. This activity depends on the sea conditions, always try to book in advance.
Although the boat is equipped with a sun shade, always bring sunscreen, hat and mineral water.
