Equipment and rental options are available on guided departures; participants receive guidance on required skill level and recommended clothing.

Thermal layers are essential
Wear a wetsuit or neoprene layers even on warm days—Isel’s glacier water is cold and hypothermia risk rises on long floats.
Secure footwear for launch zones
Use grippy water shoes or sturdy sandals for rocky put ins and exits; loose shoes can get swept away.
Listen and paddle as a team
Follow guide commands immediately—timing and synchronized paddling make tricky rapids manageable.
Protect your camera gear
Use a waterproof case or dry bag and avoid hand-held shots in heavy rapids unless strapped in with safety tethers.
Neoprene wetsuit or drysuit
Thermal protection keeps you safe in glacier-fed water and extends comfort on longer runs.
