Wear quick-dry layers
Temperatures change fast on the lake; dress in thin insulating layers and a waterproof shell so you stay comfortable while paddling.

Keep spare clothing, snacks, and your phone safe in a waterproof dry bag—guides will point out the best places to land if you need to change.
Check wind forecasts
The lake can be calm in lagoons but exposed on the main basin—confirm conditions with your guide and be prepared to stay in the lee.

Wear sandals or lightweight shoes that can get wet for easy launches and exits on gravel or stone ramps.
