YOUR PRACTICAL BRIEFING
Overland journeys can take much longer than distances suggest; choose fewer bases and work with established guides.
Combine prearranged ground transfers with confirmed ferry or regional-air connections where relevant; always keep weather buffers.
Conditions vary by island and season; sea state and tropical weather can affect boats and inter-island flights. Check the exact dates and local weather advice before departure.
Check passport validity, visas, health requirements, insurance, baggage, currency, mobile connectivity, accessibility and official advisories for every country and transit point.
For entry requirements, consult the relevant government immigration or embassy website and the IATA Travel Centre ↗. For attractions, consult official venue or park websites for prices, access and permits.
