Tips for visiting islands

πŸ›³οΈ

Plan ferry days

Inter-island ferries run on weather, not clocks β€” keep a buffer day either side of must-catch flights.

πŸ’§

Water & power are precious

Many small islands import both. Pack reusable bottles and respect quiet-hour generator schedules.

πŸͺΈ

Reef-safe sunscreen

Tropical reefs are dying from oxybenzone β€” buy mineral SPF before you fly.

πŸŽ’

Pack light, leave lighter

Tiny harbours and stair-built villages punish wheeled cases. Pack-it-out is the rule for trash.
