What type of film and photographic equipment are recommended?
A telephoto lens, UV filter and LOADS of film should be brought! To be safe, we recommend that you triple the amount of film you think you’ll go through. “Just one more shot of that cute little sea lion,” can take up 20 photos! We also recommend buying a couple of disposable underwater cameras. With all the snorkeling you’ll be doing, you’ll be able to take great shots of turtles, penguins, sharks, brilliantly colored fish, octopus, corals and more! Just don’t find yourself without enough film, and don’t forget spare batteries! Everything on the islands is so expensive. Moreover, once you’re on your cruise, you won’t dock again until the end.
