The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Riverbanks and raft exits are rocky—closed-toe water shoes with good tread prevent slips.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and cash dry during the rafting section; larger bags stay on support vehicles.
Hydrate and eat before the trip
It’s a long day (about 10 hours); a light carbohydrate-rich snack before departure helps energy levels.
Sun protection matters
Open canyon sections reflect strong sun—wear sunscreen and a hat under your helmet for non-helmet moments.
