Island is a popular holiday destination in our country, especially during the school holiday season. Among the islands that are quite famous are Redang Island,  Rawa Island, Perhentian Island and Sipadan Island. The clarity of the water and the whiteness of the beach sand on these islands are able to attract many visitors either from within or outside the country.

However, a trip to the island will be less fun if you do not plan carefully. So, we will share some holiday tips to the island.


1. Wearing appropriate clothes


For women, you do not have to bring a dress when going on holiday to the island unless you have a formal dinner. Choose clothes that are light and dry quickly. This quick-drying clothing is very suitable, especially for those who are tough and want to do various activities provided on the island. Women also usually wear high heels when going on holiday but this is strictly forbidden if you want to go on holiday to the island. This is because you will be walking on the soft beach sand. Choose slippers that are light and have a soft sole to prevent your feet from getting sore when walking on the island.


2. Use a backpack


Many people are comfortable using luggage when going on vacation because they just have to push the luggage. However, luggage is a type of bag that is not suitable to use if you are vacationing on the beach. This is due to the long distance from the jetty to the hotel or resort and uneven road structures such as stairs and slopes. Therefore, you are advised to use a backpack. Backpacks can also hold large capacity and even backpacks are more durable than luggage.


3. Bring your own toiletries


Most hotels provide bath soap and shampoo but there are some ingredients in the soap and shampoo that do not suit us. To avoid any incidents, you are advised to bring your own toiletries. These toiletries include toothbrushes, toothpaste and face wash.

4. Bring enough money


When you go to an island, the percentage to find an automatic teller machine (ATM) is quite thin. To prevent you from running out of money, you are advised to provide adequate money. This can also help you control your budget while on vacation by setting a certain amount of money you want to bring.

5. Bring sunscreen


Apart from being famous for its beautiful beaches, the island is also synonymous with hot weather. To prevent your skin from burning, sunscreen is the most important thing to bring when you plan to go on holiday to the island.

6. Drink more mineral water


To prevent yourself from being hydrated, you are advised to drink more mineral water. Some hotels or resorts provide in-room mineral water but you are also advised to bring your own supply of mineral water.



7. Bring a waterproof casing

When going on vacation, of course you do not want to miss the opportunity to record every moment that happens. Therefore, you are encouraged to bring a waterproof casing. This casing is useful especially when you go for snorkeling and swimming on the beach.


Every activity will be fun when you plan wisely. Choose the right time and place for you to relax with your beloved family. Remember, use the tips that have been given. May your holiday go smoothly.
