What to Pack for a Potipot Island Trip

Packing right makes a Potipot Island trip effortless. Whether you are booking a day tour or an overnight stay in Candelaria, Zambales, here is everything you should bring.

Beach essentials

  • Reef-safe sunscreen and after-sun lotion
  • Swimwear, a rash guard, and a wide-brim hat
  • Aqua shoes or sandals for the boat and rocky spots
  • Snorkel gear if you have it — the water is clear
  • A dry bag to keep phones and valuables safe on the boat

Overnight extras

  • Light change of clothes and a warm layer for cool evenings
  • Power bank — bring a full charge for photos and videos
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Personal medication and basic first aid

Do not forget

  • Enough cash for island entrance and boat fees (paid at the jump-off)
  • A valid ID for check-in
  • Insect repellent for the evenings
  • A reusable bag for your trash — help keep Potipot pristine
