Luggage and bags: -Try to take the most practical luggage possible, since you´ll come in and out of boats to get to the island...
-A small backpack is also very handy for the trek...
-Don´t forget before beggining the trail to take mineral water with you...there are water streams on the way but some are not very safe for drinking....(don´t ask me how I learned that, please....)

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: -Take your tenis shoes!!!!
-Rain coat can be useful as well...
-It´s good to have your own snorkel equipment...

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: -Insect repellent!!! This is very important!!
-Sun protector

Photo Equipment: -Loads of film! =P

SUNBLOCK!

Luggage and bags: Buy sunblock before you get to the island. Unless you are native to warmer climates, the sun is shockingly strong and while t-shirts and hats are inexpensive....sunblock was very expensive on the island. make it waterproof too!
