This really is the burning question for most of our passengers. It is hard enough to pack for a holiday but when you have a 10kg limit, it seems like mission impossible. Fear not, we are here to help. Not only do we issue you with a packing hints 60 days prior to departure, but we also have some Frequently Answered Questions that can assist you.
I would say the most popular question I am asked regarding clothing is:
“Are there hairdryers on board?”
We do not supply hairdryers and they are generally not necessary but it does really depend on your personal grooming preferences. K2O is equipped with 240v electricity so it is fine to pack a hairdryer but the climate is very conducive for natural drying and do not forget that 10kg limit!!
The Kimberley enjoys a balmy, tropical climate which lends itself to lightweight, casual cotton clothing. This applies to evening wear as well – no need to pack a tux to dine at our “Captain’s Table!!”
A spray jacket is advisable as the wind can get up at certain times of the year. Also, if you are doing an early morning helicopter flight it is worth wearing a light jumper becaue the chopper does not have doors and the morning temperatures can be chilly in the Dry Season (June-August).
For the ladies, a sarong is very useful given that it can be multi-functional; towel for drying off, towel for sitting on, wrap over after swimming and great protection from the sun.
Another handy accessory for both men and women would be a water bottle. Our guides equip the tenders with water but some may prefer to bring their own and can be filled up on the main vessel where the desalinator produces 3000 litres of the freshest water you will drink.
You will find fresh, fluffy towels in your cabin upon arrival and towels are available for excursions.
Footwear is also a concern for people. We generally wear bare feet on board the main vessel K2O. When doing excursions, we suggest a sandal-type shoe that you do not mind getting wet and is suitable for walking on dry land. Some walks can be challenging so a sandal with a grip is recommended.
