Wear secure water shoes
Closed‑toe, grippy water shoes protect toes and give purchase on slippery raft decks and riverbanks.
Hydrate and eat light
Bring water and a light snack before departure—heavy meals before paddling can cause discomfort during rapids.
Protect electronics
Use the provided dry bag and add a small waterproof phone pouch for quick photos—expect splashes and brief submersion near drops.
Time your trip
Morning runs have cooler air and softer sun; after heavy rains the river is livelier but currents are stronger—choose by comfort with stronger flow only if you’re confident.
Closed‑toe water shoes
