1. Dates
Choose the month
Match whales, turtles, weather, events and school-holiday pressure to the actual reason for travelling.

Choose where to stay
Pin the repeated marina, beach, dining or service journey before comparing properties.
Choose the base →4. Movement

Plan local transport →5. Contingency
Keep a flexible day
Use a foreshore, food, nature or rain plan when weather changes a marine booking.
