Footwear for both river and trails
Wear secure water shoes or quick-dry trail sandals—the river bed is rocky and ATV trails can kick up gravel.

Keep phone, wallet and sunscreen dry during the rafting portion—plastic bags aren’t enough if you plan to be hands-on.
Mind the ATV weight limit
Maximum rider weight is typically 300 lbs; check with the operator before booking to avoid surprises.
Time your trip smartly
Morning or late-afternoon slots are cooler and offer better light for photos; midday can be hot and harsher on exposed skin.
