Morning departures are calmer
Wind tends to pick up in the afternoon; book a morning slot for flatter water and easier paddling.
Wear water shoes
Rocky exits and slippery shorelines make protective footwear helpful for swims and getting in/out of the kayak.
Hydrate and bring snacks
3–4 hours on the water burns energy—carry a refillable bottle and a light snack in your dry bag.
