What to bring
For all of our tours, the key is to avoid wearing cotton. You’ll also want to bring an extra layer, just in case. Synthetic materials or wool are the best options.
We supply rain gear (both tops and bottoms), rubber duckie boots, pogies (which are neoprene paddle gloves), dry bags, and everything you need to sea kayak, including pfd’s, sprayskirts, sea kayaks and paddles. We also serve hot drinks and trail-mix/pretzel snacks on all day tours other than Duck Flats and rafting.
Things you’ll want to bring (no cotton!):
- Lunch
- Water
- Long pants
- Lightweight shirt
- Medium/heavy weight polypro sweatshirt/fleece
- Some kind of warm, wind-cutting outer layer that can go underneath a rain coat in the rain

- Your preferred warm gloves and/or liners (more for the boat ride and/or time spent on shore)
- Warm hat (or rain hat if you have one!)
