Wear closed-toe water shoes
Sturdy water shoes or grippy sandals protect feet on wet rocks and during river crossings.
Bring a dry bag and waterproof camera

Time it for morning light
Morning departures usually mean clearer water, lower crowds and safer current conditions.
Know your limits on jumps
Guides provide depth checks and instruction; skip any jump or slide that feels unsafe and follow their signals.
Closed-toe water shoes
Grip and toe protection for wet rocks and short river crossings.
Quick-dry clothing and swimsuit
