Question

Do you need “coral shoes” for excursions?

Insider's Response

If you’re planning to explore remote shores during an excursion, it’s a good idea to bring special water shoes, often called “coral shoes.” They’ll come in handy on rocky beaches and while snorkeling. It’s easy to injure your feet when swimming at low tide, and many excursion islands have such conditions. Sometimes, boarding or disembarking from a boat is done directly in the water if there’s no pier — in such cases, protecting your feet can be very helpful.

You can buy coral shoes in tourist areas: at beachside stalls, markets, or shopping malls.
