- bathing suit and/or quick-dry shorts/shirt/rash guard (spandex, nylon, polyester, "sport" blends, etc). If it's cool, a windbreaker will keep you warm, or you can rent a wetsuit ($10). We have changing rooms and a restroom in our shop and complimentory lockers for your belongings
- Cotton clothing is discouraged (it is heavy and cold when wet) and jeans are never permitted.
- shoes - most people choose to kayak barefoot and you can leave your footwear at our launch site. Wearing water shoes or "river" sandals is also a good choice
- hat - optional. You will be wearing a helmet, so not all hats will fit underneath, but ball caps and floppy sun hats usually do.
- water - it's not necessary to take it on your tour, but be sure you're well hydrated beforehand!
- sun screen (available for purchase at our shop). The tops of your feet and shins are often overlooked - they will be very exposed while paddling a sit-on-top kayak.
- If you wear glasses, it is VERY IMPORTANT to have a retainer strap! You can purchase these at our store.
- If you are prone to sea sickness, consider taking precautions. Over the counter medications need to be taken well in advance of your adventure. Ginger candy may also be an effective preventative
- You will be happy to have a towel and dry clothes waiting at our shop when you return. We provide complimentary lockers for your personal belongings. Please leave behind anything that can't get wet or might sink to the sea floor (cell phones, pagers, wallets, car keys, non-waterproof watches, loose jewelry, non-waterproof cameras, etc). We have waterproof cases for purchase for your cell phone if you would like to take pictures of your adventure.
