Wear secure water shoes
Sturdy water shoes or old sneakers protect feet on rocky riverbanks and give grip when you disembark; flip-flops are not suitable.
Layer under your life jacket
Bring a quick-dry T-shirt to wear beneath the life jacket—it prevents chafing and dries fast after swims.
Protect electronics
Leave phones and cameras behind unless they are waterproof; use a small dry bag if you must carry essential items.
Hydrate and eat lightly before boarding
A good breakfast is provided but drink water through the morning—cold river runs and sun exposure can dehydrate quickly.
Water shoes or sturdy sandals
Protects feet on slippery rocks and provides traction while rafting and swimming.
Quick-dry shirt or rashguard
Worn under the life jacket to reduce chafing and dry quickly between swims.
Broad-spectrum sunscreen
Sun reflects off the water—apply liberally before boarding and top up during breaks.

Waterproof phone case or small dry bag
