Tips and Important Info

One should take dry bags or boxes to keep small personal items. Any necessary medicines and prescriptions such as inhalers, bee-sting kits, insulin etc. must be carried.

The perfect rafting gear on most rivers during the summertime is a simple swimsuit, nylon shorts, tennis shoes or sandals, and a hat. Spring and autumn rafting trips are the ones that require additional clothing. Avoid cotton clothing while rafting, except in summers as cotton takes away the warmth from body. Wool, polyester fleece and other synthetic materials keeps body warm and dry faster than cotton. Many rafting clubs have wetsuits available for rent.
