Whitewater Rafting Equipment

YOU should bring:

​

  • Nylon shorts and/or swimming suit

  • T-shirts

  • Nylon wind shirt/jacket

  • Rain jacket and pants (can also be used as wind gear)

IMPORTANT: We recommend QUALITY rain gear

(Daytime temperatures can reach the 90s while nights can be cool. Showers can bring cooler daytime temperatures)

  • Camp shoes, lightweight (athletic or deck shoes)

  • River shoes/sneakers (Hi Top Chuck Taylors strongly recommended or sandals with heel straps)

  • Wool or polypropylene gloves/mittens and socks

What to Bring Whitewater Rafting

  • Cap or visor for sun protection

  • Jacket (pile or polar fleece); pile or polar fleece pants are optional

NOTE: Wool, polypro, pile, and fleece items are important as they provide warmth when wet. Wet cotton fabrics drain heat from the body, and should not be substituted for these items.

  • Headlamp or small flashlight

  • Pillowcase from home - you can stuff this with pile clothing to make a comfy pillow

  • Plastic water bottle for drinking water at night or on hikes

  • Towel, soap, and toiletry items; travel pack of Handiwipes (all soap above high water line)

  • Waterproof sunscreen and sunscreen lip balm

  • Sunglasses with straps

  • Fishing gear

  • Camera

  • Your favorite beverages (canned or plastic containers only!)

  • PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, ALLERGY MEDICINES, ETC. that you need

​

IMPORTANT:

The weather is impossible to predict. You may not need to use all of the gear listed here, but we recommend bringing it all.

​

Plan to "layer" for maximum comfort. On the rafts, guides typically wear nylon shorts, T-shirt, cap, and sandals or tennis shoes, with rain gear and Capilene underwear, etc. handy in one of our day bags in case of a shower or if the weather becomes cool.
