What to Bring

Weather conditions can change quickly on the Oregon coast, so we recommend being prepared for everything. We recommend synthetic materials like polyester and polypropylene that will help keep you warm even when wet. Avoid cotton as it holds water and will make you colder when wet. Participants will get their feet wet, so bring sandals, water shoes, or wetsuit booties for walking in the water and on rough terrain. We also recommend quick drying shorts, a moisture wicking fleece (polyester or polypropylene) top, a windbreaker, and a stocking cap to keep your ears warm.

We also offer rental neoprene gloves, and booties available upon request. We recommend everyone bring a water bottle and a light snack.

Our kayak tours operate rain or shine (we do cancel for unsafe, or extreme weather conditions), so it's best to bring a dry set of clothes to change into once your tour is finished. Our guides are very good at navigating to the calmer areas, but they can’t control the rain, wind, and chop, so there is always a possibility you may get wet.

If you’re worried about getting wet just ask for a shorty wetsuit and that will help you keep warm even if you get wet. If you bring a camera or cell phone make sure to have a water proof case, or small dry bag to keep it dry and protected. We also recommend a good quality reef safe sunscreen as the sun reflects off the water.
