Heading to the Maldives next month. Beyond the obvious swimwear and sunscreen, what do experienced travellers recommend bringing that first-timers always forget?
1 Answer
The top forgotten items: (1) Reef-safe sunscreen — many resorts now require it and it's expensive to buy there. (2) A good underwater camera or waterproof phone case — you'll regret not having one. (3) Motion sickness tablets for the speedboat or seaplane transfer. (4) Lightweight long-sleeve rash guard for snorkelling — prevents sunburn on your back. (5) Power bank — you'll drain your phone taking photos. (6) A waterproof dry bag for boat trips. (7) Insect repellent for the evenings — resorts spray but mosquitoes still appear at sunset.
