Luggage and bags: Since we use bicycles almost exclusively, a backpack comes in handy.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring sturdy tennis shoes; they're a necessity for walking the reef (if you're so inclined at low tide) and the selection here is very limited. Rain gear is readily available so don't worry about that...you can always put 3 openings in a large garbage bag & use that. Bring favorite sandals or flip flops, cool, lightweight clothing. A hat or cap is highly recommended due to the intense sun.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: There is a pharmacy on island, but I'd recommend bringing an adequate supply of any meds you use regularly. Also high SPF sunscreen. Toiletries are available here, but the selections are very limited, so bring your favorite shampoo, cologne, perfume, etc.
Photo Equipment: Bring it! Lots of photo opportunities here. Camcorders and cameras are allowed and picture taking is OK in most areas.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Swimsuits, DARK SUNGLASSES, dive/snorkeling mask, swim fins, and maybe a shorty wet suit or just a dive skin. The water is warm and you shouldn't need any thermal protection, just something to ward off scrapes & the occasional jellyfish. Bring or you can buy goodie bags for collecting stuff. If you scuba dive, bring regulator and weight belt without any weights; these are available here and the scuba club supplies tanks...you have to be a member, but you can join as a guest for a very nominal fee and get unlimited air.

Kwaj is so off the beaten path that there is not much interest in visiting here. However, since there are the occasional hardy souls who express interest in the place, and since it is rather difficult...

Kwaj... sooooooooo much to say.
I lived on this beautiful 3 mile long, 1/2 mile wide Island back when I was a mere 18 years old. What an experience. I can honestly say that was the best 6 months of my life. Graduate high school,...

Kwajalein Island, Almost Heaven
I am not sure if this is some place that caters to tourist, but it does offer some of the best diving in the Pacific. I was there on a military flight and did not spend a lot of time there.
