SUPPLIES AND CLOTHING

A hiking backpack is strongly recommended instead of a traditional suitcase
(management is easier during transport between hotels and boat transfers).
A small daypack is also highly recommended
(In addition to your main baggage, I recommend using it for your excursions while leaving the larger bag (or suitcase) at the hotel).
Cash (currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is highly appreciated) for your lunch and dinner meals (Budget to plan: the equivalent of a minimum of CAD 800 + your personal expenses)
(recommended because ATMs are not always easily accessible and sometimes empty).

Short-sleeved shirts
Tank tops
Shirt or dress (more classy, if desired)
Very light pants (no jeans)
Shorts (Bermuda style)
Swimsuit
Socks and underwear
Footwear (sneakers (for hiking), sandals (beach))
Swimwear
