Travel Tips
The island hopping packing list I give every client
Twelve items that make boat days comfortable, and three that ruin the reef.
30 March 2026 · 4 min read
Reef-safe sunscreen, a long sleeve rash guard, and a wide hat. Sun on a bangka boat is relentless even when it is cloudy.
A dry bag of 10 to 20 litres, water shoes for rocky entries, and your own mask if you snorkel often.
Cash in small notes for fees, a power bank, and a light rain shell for the afternoon squalls.
Leave behind: oxybenzone sunscreen, single-use plastic bottles, and anything you would be sad to lose to salt water.
