Adventure Tips

Dress in layers for temperature swings

Mornings and evenings on the river can be chilly, while daytime can heat up quickly. Layering helps manage comfort.

Bring waterproof gear

Jet boat tours can splash relentlessly—water-resistant jackets and bags keep you dry for the ride and fishing.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Prepare for rocky riverbanks and wet surfaces when boarding or stopping for shore breaks during the trip.

Apply biodegradable sunscreen

Protect your skin while minimizing impact on the pristine river ecosystem during outdoor excursions.
