What to bring?
Sun Protection
The sun can be intense on the river, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from sunburn. Make sure your sunscreen is waterproof to ensure it stays on during the wet and wild ride.
Water Shoes or Secure Sandals
While shoes are not worn on the raft, it's a good idea to have water shoes or sandals with secure straps for times when you're not on the raft, such as during lunch or at the pick-up and drop-off points. These shoes will help protect your feet from rough terrain and hot surfaces.
Quick-Drying Clothes
Wear clothes that dry quickly, like synthetic or moisture-wicking fabrics. Avoid cotton as it stays wet and can make you feel colder, especially if there's a breeze.
Waterproof Camera or GoPro
If you want to capture your rafting moments, bring a waterproof camera or GoPro. Just make sure it's securely attached to you so it doesn't get lost in the rapids.
Snacks
We provide lunch and snacks, but you might want to bring a few extra snacks, especially if you have specific dietary needs or preferences.
Plastiac Bags or Waterproof Pouch
These can be useful for keeping your electronic devices and other valuables dry. Although we provide a safe place for your belongings, it’s always good to take extra precautions.
Energy and Enthusiasm
Most importantly, bring a sense of adventure and a positive attitude. Rafting can be physically demanding and sometimes challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding and fun.
