Keep travel essentials accessible

Carry tickets, booking details, identification required for the trip and a way to reach your accommodation. Store a copy of the return plan separately from the device you use most. Follow official document requirements for border crossings.

Choose a small daily kit

Bring drinking water, sun protection, a light rain layer, a change of clothes and a bag for waste. Add comfortable footwear for walking and a dry bag for items near the water. Check facilities before deciding what food to take.

Pack for the actual activities

If you have booked a guided water activity, ask what equipment is supplied and what you need to bring. For a viewpoint walk, check the terrain and local guidance. Avoid carrying bulky specialist equipment that the provider already includes unless you prefer your own.

Check transport restrictions

Ask carriers about baggage weight, dimensions and items that require special handling. Keep valuables with you and avoid packing something that will make boarding unnecessarily difficult.

Use the checklist

Open the interactive packing list, tick the items relevant to your journey and download the list. It works without an account and does not need your contact details.
