Adventure Tips
Wear quick-drying clothing
Prepare to get wet; synthetic fabrics dry faster and increase comfort during the kayak trip.
Bring sunscreen and a hat
The open river sections offer little shade—protect your skin during the 2-hour paddle.
Secure personal belongings
Use provided waterproof containers for phones, cameras, and wallets to keep them safe from water exposure.
Arrive early for safety briefing
Give yourself time to get fitted for life jackets and receive paddling instructions from your guide.
