Although we take the best care with your luggage please understand that bags can be passed through many hands during the day, from our boat to Hotel Staff, from our boat to the Campsite where another camper or operator may stack a bag on top of yours. For this reason we reccomend that everything is stored inside your bag or securly fastened to the outside (tents, sleeping bags, plastic bags ect) so items do not get caught and fall off.
Please do not have items such as shoes, pots and pans, walking poles hanging on the outside of your bag as they may get lost or even cause damage to other bags.
