Travel Note
What To Bring
This list may assist you in planning what to bring. Obviously, you won’t need everything on the list—and lots of these items can be found once you’re here—but it might make you think of a few things you’d otherwise overlook: •Water-resistant, reef-safe sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher. Make sure the ingredients are zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. The higher the percentage, the better. (We like 20% zinc). Note, chemical sunscreens (with ingredients such as oxybenzone) are banned on Maui. •Rash guard, or other quick drying cover-up for sun protection •Two bathing suits •Hiking sticks (carbide-tipped ones are good for boulder-hopping hikes) •Shoes—flip-flops, trashable sneakers, water shoes, hiking shoes •Hat or cap for sun protection •Mask, snorkel and fins •Camera with lots of memory •Waterproof case for phone •Warm clothes (for Haleakala trips) and junk clothes for hikes, etc. •Light rain jacket •Small flashlight for Haleakala sunrise •Cheap, simple backpack—you don’t need to go backpacking to use one; a 10-minute trek to a secluded waterfall is much easier if you bring a pack •Shorts and other cool cotton clothing •Mosquito repellent for some hikes (lotions with at least 10% DEET seem to work best)
