Rafting Tips
Dress for the conditions with a swim suit and lightweight, synthetic layers. Wear sandals with a secure ankle-strap or lightweight shoes, and don't forget a retaining strap for eyeglasses. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent as needed for your group. Wetsuits and splash jackets should be provided on high-altitude rivers with cold water. Properly fitted Helmets and Type-V PFD's (lifejackets) are mandatory equipment. Some outfitters will have "dry-bags" available to stow an extra warm layer or a camera. Don't bring any valuables such as keys, wallets, passports, etc. on the river.
