    Light & Breathable Clothing

    The BVI's boats a tropical climate, so packing light and breathable clothing is a must. Think swimsuits, cover-ups, shorts, and airy tops. Don't forget a wide-brimmed dat and sunglasses to shield yourself from the Caribbean sun. Pack enough for the duration of your trip, but keep in mind that less is more.

    Footwear

    The best part about almost anywhere in the British Virgin Islands is that you can be barefoot practically everywhere! From sandy beaches to onboard lounging, leave the heels at home and feel the sand between your toes. If you plan on hiking, throw in a pair of sturdy sneakers for offshore adventures. Otherwise, flip-flops are our go-to!

    Sun Protection Essentials

    Protecting your skin from the Caribbean sun is crucial. Pack a high SPF sunscreen, aloe vera for soothing post-sun care, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face. A lightweight, long-sleeved cover-up is also handy for extra protection during peak sun hours.
