Each day of the itinerary lists the included meals for that day (B,L,D,O=Other). When a meal is not included, the WTT Tour Leader will have suggestions for where to eat.

You do not have to dine alone unless it is your personal choice. You'll most likely be dining with new acquaintances you've made, or you can join the Tour Leader.

Dietary Restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten-free dietary restrictions can be accommodated on this tour with limited selections.

In general the temperature, rainfall and humidity levels vary based on the time of the year. We suggest you monitor weather apps leading up to the time you depart for the most current information.

For This Trip You Will Need—

• Comfortable clothing for kayaking, boating & shelling. Quick-dry, sun-blocking materials are helpful.
• Sturdy water-friendly footwear (old sneakers you don’t mind getting wet)
• Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen
• Reusable water bottle

For This Trip You May Want—

• Small backpack or day bag
• Lightweight rain jacket/windbreaker - afternoon showers are no uncommon
• Swimsuit and cover up
• Insect repellent
• Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners
• If you are prone to sea sickness, consider bringing medication or supplements like ginger.
• Waterproof pouch for phone, etc. for kayaking

Good Packing Habits—

• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping aids, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.
• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

We will be using the WTT coach on this tour. The luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations and the requirement that travelers manage their belongings.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible. Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase and a day pack or shoulder bag to keep with you in the coach.
• Maximum suitcase size: 22-24 inches in height. This is the size of bag that fits into the overhead bins of aircraft. Suitcases larger than this will not fit properly in the WTT coach; don't bring them.
• The weight of your bag should not exceed 30 pounds as you will need to lift it into the coach luggage compartment.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. We expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring it back to the coach and load it on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient. The possibility of steps exist at most hotel entrances.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider: the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits. More and more, restaurants are no longer allowing groups to split the bill by charging to multiple credit cards. Therefore, you might want to have cash-on-hand for meals on your own when dining with others in the group.

• You are responsible for tipping waitstaff, porters, or other individuals who provide a service to you at the hotel, or other public locations.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Director for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day.
