What to wear on the whitewater course?
Be prepared to get wet! A bathing suit, board shorts and/or synthetic layers work best. If it is windy in the spring or fall seasons, a splash jacket or some kind of shell will help you stay warm. Comfort wear is available to rent for $29 – this includes neoprene booties, a wetsuit, and a splash jacket. All rafters must wear shoes – no crocs, open-toed sandals or flip flops. Remember to bring a dry change of clothes, towel, toiletries and shoes for after your trip. Showers, changing rooms and secure lockers are available for your convenience.
