Frequently Asked Questions on Kayak Tours:
What Should I Bring?
Bring a Change of cloths in an air tight zip lock bag. Hat optional but recommended Bug repellent sun block. Medications and phones all in zip tight bags. We highly recommend bringing a bottle of water and items that you would normally have while you are in the sun. Cameras are okay, but we suggest putting them in a zipped plastic bag if they are not waterproof.
What should I wear? Most people wear t-shirts, shorts and/or bathing suits. During the winter months we suggest a light wind breaker or a sweat shirt depending on the temperature and the wind conditions. The most important thing is to be comfortable. As for shoes, wear something that you don’t mind getting wet – flip flops, water shoes, or old sneakers are ideal.
