Firstly, my top tip is to use a backpack with a back strap – so you can attach it to your suitcase handle when moving around the airport – I honesty don’t know how I coped before discovering this (or my back!).

Only pack what you will need, it’s easy to get carried away.

Pack reef-safe sunscreen!

Natural Insect Repellent – to avoid chemicals harmful to the environment.

Toothbrush: Choose bamboo or another biodegradable option such as wheat staw – personally my favourite is wheat straw, sounds bizarre but a great option and fairly cost effectivec compared to what you might buy on the high street. 

Finally, take a turtle bag with you – great for the beach and I think they look super cool!
