What should I pack for a Galapagos cruise?

Pack light, quick-drying clothes for the Galápagos. Heavier materials such as cotton take longer to dry in the humid weather. Remember that you’ll be travelling on boats (including pangas and rafts with dry and wet landings) and that you’ll need waterproof clothing. It’s also worth packing seasickness tablets to help you cope with the rocky journeys to the islands.

Other essentials include:

• Comfortable hiking shoes
• Light rain jacket/windbreaker
• Fleece for evenings on board
• Bathing suit
• Sandals for wet landings
• Sunscreen (SPF 50 - you’re on the equator!)
• Sunhat
• Reusable water bottle
• Seasickness tablets
• Cash for national park fees, tips and extra expenses on board (not all ships accept credit cards)
