I send every client a tailored pre-trip checklist — documents, packing, and whatever your specific resort actually needs. You imagine it. We make it effortless.

The Essentials

Start with what you'll genuinely wear and use every single day. Keep it light.

Clothing

  • βœ“Swimwear (two sets), cover-ups, sandals.
  • βœ“Light, breathable layers for evenings.
  • βœ“One smart-casual outfit for dinners.

Sun & Skin

  • βœ“Reef-safe sunscreen (often required).
  • βœ“Hat, sunglasses, and after-sun.
  • βœ“Insect repellent for evenings.

Beach & Water

  • βœ“Water shoes for rocky entries.
  • βœ“Dry bag and reusable water bottle.
  • βœ“Snorkel gear if you have a favorite.

Documents & Money

And then the things that simply can't be forgotten — this is the part I never want a client to wing.

Travel Documents

  • βœ“Passport valid 6+ months.
  • βœ“Printed and digital booking confirmations.
  • βœ“Travel insurance details.

Money

  • βœ“Small bills for tips and taxis.
  • βœ“A card that waives foreign fees.
  • βœ“Some local currency where useful.

Health

  • βœ“Prescriptions in original packaging.
  • βœ“A small first-aid and motion kit.
  • βœ“Copies of key documents, stored separately.

Smart Extras

Finally, the little extras — the small stuff that quietly makes the trip better.

01

Pack a Carry-On Day Bag

Pack one swimsuit and your essentials in a carry-on, in case your checked bag is delayed.

02

Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many islands require reef-safe sunscreen now — and it protects the reefs you came to see.

03

A Light Rain Layer

Tropical showers pass fast, so a packable rain layer earns its space.

04

Chargers & Adapter

Check the plug types and bring a battery pack for long excursion days.

05

Leave Room for Home

Leave a little room in the bag — you'll want space for rum, coffee, and souvenirs on the way home.

06
