What To Pack For Your Island Vacation

WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR ISLAND VACATION

There is a cardinal rule in travel packing which says - Always Travel light! But is that even possible when you are packing for an island getaway? Well, it may seem unrealistic but is surely possible.

People usually pack an abundance of things while traveling to an island. It not only elevates unnecessary weight but causes unwanted backache as well! So, just to eliminate all such undesirable causes, here is a list of all those things that you must pack while traveling. These are just those things with which you can travel with ease without any discomfort on the go!

Limited Clothing Island vacations are all about colourful-bright clothing. And hence keeping this in mind travellers tend to pack a lot. This causes nothing but an unwanted burden in backpacks. Hence, before packing sort out all the necessary attires that you wish to wear on the holidays. Then, mix and match your tees, bottoms, and others which can be worn with each other. This will save you space in your baggage and reduce the weight ultimately.

Flipflops and Shoes Carrying flip flops is one of the ideal things to pack while traveling to a beach vacation on a tropical remote island. They are lightweight, durable, and comfortable to walk on the golden-white sandy beach. Thus, do not forget to pack a pair of such flip flops. Also, since island vacations are incomplete without hikes in the island forests, thus, make space for a pair of good sports shoes in your backpack as well.

Med Aids Even if you forget to pack your favourite beach dress, just do not make the mistake of not packing a med aid kit! While packing your stuff, make a small medical kit with the necessary medicines, some bandages, pain-relieving gels, cotton, a small pair of scissors, wound dressing creams, a bug spray, etc. Keep the kit box handy and well within the reach while traveling.

Protective Gears Traveling to an island involves a lot of sunbathing and infinite swims in the sea. An excess of the two can cause body burns and rashes. Thus, carry some island protective items like a sunscreen of a suitable SPF level, a pair of UV protective sunglasses, a cap or a hat, body lotions, UV rash guard, a light coverup, etc. Islands tend to heat up immensely during the day so do make it a point to carry and use all these things for having a comfortable time under the sunny sky of tropical islands.

Packable Rain Jackets Island weathers are sometimes unpredictable. It may be sunny for a while, but the sky may turn dark in no time following a rainfall. Thus, to be on the safer side, carry a packable rain jacket with you. They are waterproof, and light in weight. They drain out water easily without leaving you drenched even a bit. So, consider it as an essential and pack it for sure.

Swim Gear What is an island vacation without a dip in the infinite blue ocean? Nothing, right? So, for having the best experience at the sea and the shore, carry a swimsuit, a pair of snorkelling sets, lightweight beach mats, sunglasses, etc. All of these make a part of the essential swim gear and do not demand much space in the bags, thus you can carry them with ease.

Camera Everybody likes to freeze the happy moments by clicking some photographs with your loved ones.

Thus, do not forget to carry a lightweight and waterproof camera with battery and charger. You can bookmark the enchanting scenic beauty of the island beach, forest, and life under the sea with your camera and cherish them forever.

Wet Bags Infinite swims in the sea make your clothes sandy, wet and damp which might consume a lot of time to get dried out completely. Thus, carrying a wet bag can be extremely beneficial. You can store your wet and damp clothes in it without letting your other clothes soak. These bags are lightweight but can easily bear the weight of wet clothes.

Miscellaneous But Essential ID proofs and daily necessity items and like toothbrush, toothpaste, body creams and lotions, hairbrush, shampoo, etc. are carried by almost everyone without a miss. But apart from these, you must also carry things like a copy of tickets, phone chargers, ointments, emergency contact list, a small guidebook, water bottle, tissues, a notepad, a pen, eye mask, etc. as well.

Thus, these were some of those travel essentials that you have to have in your backpacks while traveling to an island. Make it a point to tickmark all the items from the list while packing your holiday bags.
