We provide wetsuits, splash tops, Helmets, fleece and booties for your trip (children sizes as well). For most trips these items are not necessary but may be requested by guest at anytime (some folks get cold easier than others and its always better to over prepared). Just ask us if you have any questions about the gear we provide.
For early season trips (May and June) and High Adventure Trips we suggest bringing plenty of clothes (all of our guides carry dry bags to stow extra clothes on the boats) you may also leave clothes on the bus and change at the end of the trip as well. Please stay away from cotton clothing, cotton stays wet making you cold and ultimately can affect the enjoyment of your trip.
For all trips we suggest bringing bathing suit or shorts, t-shirt, sandals that fasten securely or shoes, hats, sun screen, and sunglasses, and a water bottle. During the summer months (July and August) most of our guest find they dry of quickly and don’t need much additional clothing.
We'll raft as long as there isn't hazardous lightning, but ultimately it’s up to you. If you are not comfortable with what Mother Nature is offering and would like to reschedule or cancel, (even the morning of the trip) we have a 100 % money back policy, no questions asked
