Adventure Tips
Wear Quick-Drying Clothing
Expect to get wet—opt for lightweight, moisture-wicking clothes rather than denim or heavy fabrics.
Bring Sun Protection
A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are vital to guard against strong Australian sun during your paddle.
Hydrate for the Journey
Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated; paddling in the sun can be deceptively dehydrating.
Secure Your Belongings
Use water-resistant bags or keep valuables in sealed containers to avoid damage from splashes or dunking.
