PACKING LIST KAYAK ADVENTURE

Waterproof dry bags

Pack all your luggage in small, waterproof bags, organized by category. It's worthwhile having dry bags in various sizes. Many small bags are better than a few large ones (maximum one 20-liter dry bag; choose smaller bags for the rest). The different sizes allow us to make better use of the kayak's volume. A maximum of 60 liters of luggage per person is permitted. So remember: less is more! If you have any questions about luggage, we're happy to help. Dry bags are also available for rent upon request.

Bag

The bag is there so you don't have to carry all the dry bags individually from the kayak to camp. The smaller you can fold the bag, the better (e.g., an IKEA tote bag). The bag itself doesn't need to be waterproof and should have a volume of 60 liters. No backpacks!

Bedroom

  • sleeping bag

  • inflatable sleeping mat

  • Z-Lite (recommended)

  • Hammock (recommended), there are trees on all the islands, so you can choose your camping spot regardless of the terrain and remain more flexible.

  • Tent – If you don't have a hammock or simply prefer sleeping on the ground, you can also bring a small tent. The packed size should be as small as possible. A hanging mosquito net is also sufficient and saves a lot of space. We'll provide you with a tarp to use as a roof or groundsheet anyway.
    If in doubt, feel free to ask us for our assessment.
