There are plenty of walking and hiking trails, so you'll want good walking shoes.
There are plenty of shops selling all the basics, but don't rely on finding everything, especially if you're going hiking in the quieter parts of the island. And don't forget the sun lotion and insect repellant - plus the soothing cream or lotion for when they do get through!
If you're really going off the beaten path consider taking some bear bells, which can be bought on the island. You wear these round your ankles so that they jingle as you walk and keep bears away.
