Make room for a meal
Ask about local dishes and the day’s ingredients, and explain dietary needs clearly. Give each island time beyond the arrival dock.
Ask about the story
Choose heritage or cultural visits with informed local guides. Confirm current festivals and music events rather than assuming a performance is always available.
Respect working shores
Harbours, fishing boats and village streets are workplaces and homes. Ask before taking portraits or entering private spaces.
Give the day room to unfold
Agree hosted visits, transport, fees and expectations in advance and support businesses on the islands you visit.
