Overnight bag
Last Updated: 7th May 2012
More Tour and Travel Advice for: Australia, USA & Canada, Australia and New Zealand
An overnight bag is simply a small backpack-sized bad that you bring yourself and you pack with clothes, toiletries and anything you think you may need for the next day. This can often make your travel experience easier as it is more practical than carrying a large bag or suitcase up small hotel stairs where there is no elevator, onto a ferry or onto a cable car up a mountain.
Overnight bags are a good idea on some one night stops or for other overnight stops on tour where it is more practical to have a small bag rather than a large piece of luggage.
Examples of where you may use an overnight bag are when of you stay up Mt Pilatus and when taking an overnight ferry, on the Milford Wander, sailing the Whitsundays or sometimes for one night stops on tour.
An over night bag for two nights is required for tours staying up Mt Pilatus in Switzerland while a small bag is required for those taking the Sailing the Whitsundays option in Australia.
We suggest using your carry on bag (or day bag) as your overnight bag. Many people often pick up an overnight bag once they begin their tour.

What happens to our big bag when we’re on the sail boat in the Whitsundays?

yeh this doesnt make sense.. i think in most cases you will have your luggage bag with you and if you go out for the day you take the overnight bag….just to put camera or something in…

Long bags are a unspoiled melody on few one dark stops or for remaining long stops on journeying where it is many functional to change a miniature bag rather than a extended patch of case.

I’m guessing this means that our main suitcase will stay in the bus?

The night bag is really just a small bag that you can pack all the stuff you will need for an overnight stay.
You could just take an extra back pack or empty sports bag in your luggage and while on tour you will be told when/if you will need to back for an overnight stay. It is because not all the hotels you can take your full suitcase to.
We just used our backpack as the overnight bag, you don’t have to take an additional prepacked bag. If that makes sense?{Lex}

I bought a high sierra duffel bag - it has a zip down panel on the back and you can pull out the back pack straps…I also have a laptop back pack…
Winter is an excellent time to go to Europe. There are next to no lines for the museums, you can experience the cities like the locals do and everything is cheaper! Plus, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Europe are very special.
I dont think anyone has ever said they didnt enjoy George's boat! Its by far the best optional on tour! The water is amazing and George is quite the entertainer ;)
