Useful Tour Tips
What to bring on A Field Trip
(Our Suggestions)
Clothing:
The tropical days are hot and humid and we recommend light, comfortable cotton shirts.
Casual wear is acceptable for most occasions in the city; on trips to the interior, shorts and T-shirts may be more appropriate. For most trips, bring swimming gear to slake of tropical heat. Please remember, however, to respect local modesty. Light rainwear is a must an invariably, there will be encounters with rain. On trips to the Longhouses do not forget thin towels and sun hats (to protect against the tropical sun).In the evenings, slip into a comfortable sarong. These items can obtain easily and cheaply.
Footwear:
For trips to the interior that require a great deal of hiking through primary rainforest or rugged terrain, comfortable hiking or walking shoes that have no fear of jungle streams or muddy trails are recommended. For shorter trips that do not require a great deal of walking, good pair sneakers will do. A pair of flip-flop, or Slippers as should be included.
Note: That locally, there may be difficulty in getting footwear in large sizes.
Medicine & Toiletries:
A part from personal toiletries include in your pack, insect repellent. A basic first aid kit should include band-aids, mild antiseptic cream for insect bites or light scratches, cotton swabs, tissues, bandages and painkillers.
