Plan on packing a pair of sturdy hiking or walking shoes and some type of water-friendly footwear such as Keens, Teva, or Chaco sandals. Large hiking boots are often not necessary, but it is a personal choice—if you have a comfortable pair of hiking boots that you often use, feel free to bring them. While most of the hikes are not long, most are over rocky, uneven terrain; several options are given most days. Your sandals or water shoes are handy for wet landings when we land Zodiacs on beaches and you must walk through water a few inches deep to shore. On shore, you can either change into your shoes (towels will be at the beach) or walk in your sandals, depending on the day.
