When you book your trip, we will send you some detailed pre-trip information, however to give you an idea of what we recommend you bring:
Personal Equipment
We suggest you include all of the items in your personal gear. It is not an exhaustive list, but is the 'essential' gear you shouldn't do without. Pack it in plastic bags, or dry bags. A number of smaller bags are easier to pack than one or two larger bags.
- Two changes of warm clothing (wool or polypropylene, not cotton): one suitable for adverse paddling conditions, and one for wearing on-shore.
- Warm hat & gloves
- Waterproof raincoat or jacket (for example a nylon windbreaker)
- Spare plastic bags
- Sunscreen
- Windproof jacket, suitable for paddling
- Insect repellent
- Rubber sandals, sandshoes, or neoprene booties for wearing while paddling - ones suitable for getting wet
- Shoes suitable for hiking in
- Sunglasses
- Sunhat
- T-shirt & shorts
- Toiletries
- Towel
- Swimsuit
- Optional: long wetsuits for cooler months
