Do I need to bring anything for the tour, such as sunscreen or water?

Water bottle, sunscreen, and camera.

What should I wear for the boat tour besides jacket?

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Sturdy, closed-toe footwear suitable for walking on varied terrain is recommended.

What happens if it rains or the bad weather on that day ?

Poor weather means cancellation or rescheduling, with a full refund offered if conditions are unsafe.
