When packing for a paddling trip to the Maldives, remember a sun hat, reef-safe sunscreen, and quality sunglasses to protect yourself from intense UV rays. Pack several sun shirts or rash guards and knee-length board shorts, as visitors are expected to dress conservatively in this country. Bring a dry bag to keep your belongings safe on the water, and pack an underwater action camera and snorkeling gear.
