The thrill of boarding a boat and exploring the deep blue is unparalleled. However, nothing ruins the experience more than realizing you forgot your sunscreen or that your phone isn't as "waterproof" as you thought. Aqua Tour Travel, We want you to just focus on enjoying yourself, that's why we've created this master list.
1. The "Must-Haves" in Clothing and Footwear
It's not just about looking good for the Instagram photo, but about functionality.
- Quick-drying swimsuit: Avoid irritation and heaviness.
- T-shirt with UV protection (Rash guard): Essential if you're going to spend hours snorkeling.
- Water shoes: Flip-flops are good for the sand, but for getting on and off boats or walking on dead coral, water shoes are your best allies.
2. Sun Protection: Beyond Sunscreen
The reflection of the sun on the water doubles the intensity of the radiation.
Polarized sunglasses: They will allow you to see better through the reflection in the water.
Biodegradable Sunscreen: Many protected destinations prohibit chemicals that damage coral. Check that yours is "Reef Friendly".
Adjustable cap or hat: The wind on the boat can blow away your favorite hat if it doesn't have a cord.
3. Technology and Gadgets
If there's no photo, did it really happen? Secure your memories.
- Waterproof mobile phone case: A transparent waterproof bag is inexpensive and saves lives (and phones).
- Power bank: Using GPS and the camera drains the battery quickly.
- Action camera: If you have a GoPro, make sure you bring the float (the orange "stick").
4. The Personal «Survival Kit»
Small details that make a big difference.
- Microfiber towel: They take up little space and dry in minutes.
- Motion sickness medication: Take it 30 minutes before setting sail, not when you already feel unwell.
- Dry Bag: To store your dry clothes and wallet.
Conclusion: You're ready to set sail!
Packing properly is the first step to an unforgettable experience. Remember that in Aquatour Travel We take care of all the logistics so you only have to bring your backpack and your desire to explore.
