Top 5 Essential Items
Small backpack/daypack | We recommend you bring one that is waterproof. | |
Water bottle * | By the way, you’ll receive a reusable water bottle when you arrive on board Yacht La Pinta. | |
Ziploc-style baggie with your medication | Even though Yacht La Pinta features an onboard medical officer, available 24/7, please remember to pack any specific and essential prescription medication. | |
Drybag | This item keeps your valuables dry at all times as you hop on and off the dinghy, or panga, on your way to and from aquatic and land activities.) | |
Waterproof, see-through phone pouch | This item is useful for taking photos underwater or aboard a panga, as it keeps your phone dry and protected, guaranteeing that you’ll be able to share your memories with friends, family, and followers. (P.S. Feel free to tag us on your social media!) |
Additional Recommended Items
Head to Toe: We also recommend bringing the following:
Sunglasses | It’s a good idea to use these with a neck strap so you won’t misplace them. | |
Bandana * | This is a great item for protecting your neck when it gets too sunny or while traveling aboard the dinghy. | |
Windbreaker jacket | It can get a little windy out at sea, particularly during the Galapagos dry season. | |
Warm sweater or fleece | It can get a little chilly at night; an extra layer can provide you with just the right amount of comfort and warmth. | |
Casual pants, shorts, dress, or skirt | Back onboard the ship, you may want to change into something a little more comfortable. | |
Bathing suits | It’s a good idea to bring two (2), in case you want to change suits between aquatic activities | |
Socks | You’ll be using your feet quite a bit so we recommend treating them right. Bring comfortable socks: some for hiking and some for lounging. | |
Anti-slip sandals and/or comfortable shoes | When your sandals are still drying, you’ll be glad you brought some extra footwear. |
