WHAT WILL BE PROVIDED

We provide neoprene wetsuits, river booties, helmets and life jackets for all guests. On cooler days we also provide splash jackets. We take photos on each trip available for purchase for $40 following the trip, with payment by cash or credit card. 

WHAT TO BRING

Typically people are most comfortable wearing a swimsuit under their wetsuit. On cooler days we also recommend a fleece jacket to wear under the splash jacket. Bring any necessary medication in a ziplock bag. Recommended items to have packed in your vehicle are water bottles, snacks, sunscreen & towels for after the trip. Following the trip souvenirs, merchandise are available and gratuities are optional with both card or cash payment.
