The Only Packing List You Need for an Island Open Trip

Gayain Nusantara Team· Travel SpecialistMay 30, 20261 min read

After running hundreds of island open trips, this is the packing list our team actually hands out.

The essentials

  • Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+)
  • Quick-dry swimwear, two sets
  • A dry bag for phones and wallets during boat transfers
  • Sandals with a heel strap — flip-flops fall off on speedboats
  • A light jacket for the boat ride, which is colder than the island itself

Worth bringing

  • Portable power bank — outlets are limited on smaller islands
  • Cash in small denominations
  • Basic motion sickness medication if you're prone to it

Leave at home

  • Heavy hardshell luggage — soft duffel bags are far easier on a small boat
  • Expensive jewelry
  • More than one "nice" outfit — island trips are casual by design

One more thing

Every Gayain Nusantara open trip includes basic snorkeling gear, so you don't need to bring your own mask and fins unless you prefer your own fit.
