Whether you're heading to Perth, Hillarys, Geraldton, Broome, or Exmouth, packing right makes the difference between a great day and a sunburnt scramble. Here's the short list — most gear is provided, so you can keep it light.
• Swimwear and rash vest — for comfort and sun protection during movement. • Reef-safe sunscreen — apply 15 minutes before activity to protect skin and marine ecosystems. • Towel and change of clothes — quick-dry options are great for post-activity comfort. • Hat and sunglasses with strap — wide-brimmed hats protect face and neck; straps keep your shades on board. • Reusable water bottle — stay hydrated under sun exposure. • Dry bag or waterproof pouch — protect phones, keys, and snacks from splashes. • Waterproof phone case or GoPro — capture the action without writing off your phone.
Most gear like life jackets, boards, and skis is provided by the operator when you book — so you can focus on personal comfort and sun protection rather than hauling equipment.
If you're bringing kids or a crew along, add to your bag:
• Extra snacks • Baby wipes and sanitiser • Additional towels • Swim nappies for little ones • Cooler bag with drinks • Entertainment items (frisbee, beach games)
Exmouth typically delivers sunny, warm, dry weather — lightweight, breathable, protective gear is the move. Check the forecast before your session, and consider booking earlier in the day to dodge peak sun.
