When on vacation in Hawaii or looking for a fun activity to enjoy with friends, a boat tour is the perfect option. You can enjoy beautiful views, dolphin sightings, and the opportunity to jump off-board for a quick snorkeling tour. But while out on the open ocean, you'll need to keep your safety in mind. Here are a few tips to ensure your adventure is stress-free. 

4 Safety Tips for a Hawaii Boat Tour

1. Listen to the Tour Guide

Before the boat tour begins, you'll meet your guide. This individual is an expert on boats, the local geography, and what you may encounter in the ocean. Pay attention to their initial instructions. Should you encounter choppy waves or a sudden change in weather, defer to your guide for the safety of everyone on board. 

2. Wear a Life Jacket

Even if you're a strong swimmer, wear a life jacket at all times and make sure your entire party does the same. It will keep you afloat and make it easy to locate you if you accidentally fall in the water.

3. Apply Sunscreen

Apart from water-related hazards, a day out in the sun can cause an uncomfortable sunburn. Apply waterproof sunscreen liberally throughout the day and wear a hat, sunglasses, and long sleeves when in direct sunlight to protect against burning and overheating. 

4. Stay Hydrated

With the excitement of a boat tour, marine life sightings, and breaks to swim and snorkel, it's easy to forget about drinking water. But exerting yourself while out in the sun can lead to dehydration or sunstroke. Bring a large water bottle on the tour and take frequent sips.
