Wear closed, treaded river shoes
Rocks are slippery and river entries are uneven—sturdy water shoes or old trail running shoes prevent slips and protect toes.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep electronics and spare clothes dry during river sections and sudden downpours.
Start early each day
Morning light reduces afternoon storm risk and exposes more wildlife activity along riverbanks.
Know your fitness limits
Guides expect moderate fitness; if you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns this tour is not recommended.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries rapidly after swims and keeps you comfortable through humid conditions.
Sturdy river shoes
Protects feet on rocky riverbeds and provides traction on muddy trails.
Dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps spare clothes, documents and electronics safe from splashes and rain.
Headlamp with spare batteries
