Things to Bring
Travel to Lizard Island is by light aircraft so baggage must be kept within the allowance. On scheduled flights by Macair Airlines, the limit is one bag of up to 16 kg per person. Most groups use charter flights, and baggage limits must be discussed with the charter company. Also, there will be four people sharing most bedrooms so it is more comfortable for everyone if luggage is kept to a minimum. Each person should bring:
- Beach towel and bath towel
- Torch with spare batteries
- Shady hat that can get wet and will not fly off during boat trips
- Sunglasses (polarising lenses are MUCH better than others for seeing into the water)
- High SPF sunscreen
- Long-sleeved shirt or lycra suit for sun protection while snorkelling
- Wetsuit - especially in the winter months (3mm steamer or shortie is fine)
- Shoes and socks for walking
- Shoes for getting wet on reef walks (wetsuit boots with hard soles are good; these are available for hire)
- Personal insect repellant
- Soap and other personal items
- Camera and film
- One outfit for traveling
- Swimsuit
- T-shirts
- Shorts
- Light sweater for cool evenings
- Writing materials
- Small day pack or bag
- Water bottle of about 1 litre
- Appetite for learning, plenty of enthusiasm and a cooperative spirit
