Bug repellent
Sunglasses and a hat
Good walking shoes, sandals or water shoes (2 pairs -- one to keep dry, and the other for wet landings)
Quick drying shorts (a couple of pairs)

A camera and lots of film: The average tourist takes two rolls/day on the islands! Film is available here, but it's expensive.
We also recommend purchasing one or two underwater cameras to take photos of the animal life while snorkeling!
