Keep essentials together
Use a manageable day bag and a water-resistant pouch for your phone and documents. Carry the operator’s contact, pickup instructions, and booking confirmation somewhere you can access without relying on a mobile connection.
Choose what to bring around your confirmed itinerary. Do not assume that a boat has secure storage or that equipment shown in a photograph is included in the fare.
- Swimwear, towel, and a dry change of clothes
- Hat, sunglasses, and your usual sun protection
- Water-resistant pouch for valuables
- Footwear appropriate for your confirmed boarding arrangements
- Personal essentials and any items you normally need for a day away
Ask before carrying extra gear
Confirm towel provision, drinking water, and any snorkelling equipment directly. If you want to bring bulky bags, a stroller, or specialist equipment, ask about storage and boarding space before departure.
Travelling with children? Check lifejacket availability and fit, meal arrangements, and what the child fare covers. Those details belong in your booking conversation, not in assumptions based on a generic packing list.
Return with what you brought
Bring a small bag for your own rubbish and wet items. Keep valuables to what you actually need for the day. Our checklist is practical editorial guidance; it is not a statement that an operator supplies or accepts any particular item.
