Mandatory park rules — not optional recommendations
Do not bring the items prohibited in the rules below. Prohibited items may be confiscated by park authorities. Do not assume they will be stored for you or returned after your visit. Check your bags before departure and leave prohibited items behind.
Follow the food policy specified for this tour. If you are unsure whether an item is permitted, contact us before departure.
Why this matters: Food changes animal behavior and increases risk for both wildlife and visitors.
Boarding: Wait for the guide or captain’s signal, board carefully and take your seat as instructed. Wear your life jacket during the boat journey.
Beach landing: Sirena normally involves a beach landing. Water depth, waves and the landing surface vary with conditions. Follow the crew’s instructions and step off carefully; do not jump.
Secure-fitting water shoes are recommended for boarding, beach landings, rocky ground and hot sand. Flip-flops are unsuitable for boarding and landings, because waves and moving water can pull them off.
