Kayaking Gear

Kayakers bring all of your own boating gear (including floatation bags) and ask for an updated list of available kayaks. Weather should be good and water is relatively warm, but be prepared for the worst. I would recommend both a dry top and a shortie cag. Wet suit shorts are enough for the bottom. Booties/Tevas are always a good idea. Small dry bag to carry daily needs in kayak.

Rafting gear: We will supply you with all specialist river equipment, helmets, lifejackets and paddles. If you have a personal paddle jacket or shortie / farmer John wet suit, please bring them.

Water bottle: Although we carry water on the rafts, it’s always nice to have your own bottle.

Shammy or small towel: The best alternative to this is a wrap that is cheap and easy to buy once you get over there. They make great pants/skirt also.

Other clothes: Bring polypro and synthetic clothing. For women it is a good idea to have skirts or wraps rather than shorts, especially when we are trekking. Everyone will want to have t-shirts to wear in public places.

Personal First Aid Kit: If you have something you are particularly prone to: ear infections, foot rot, or sinus problems, bring what you need with you. You will definitely want to be carrying medicines for common illnesses like diarrhea, infections and upset stomachs, you will also need a complete set of inoculations for Asia, ask your doctor for advise.

Food: Please bring any of your own food: power bars, granola bars, dried fruit, chocolate, always nice to have. Gatorade Powder is a great way to drown out the taste of iodine in your drinking water.
