Answer: On the river wearing shorts, t-shirt and swim wear is fine. We will provide all of the safety equipment that you need for your activity.
If you burn easily from the sun we highly recommend a long sleeve shirt to keep your arms covered.
We tend to not wear shoes, or chose thin neoprene boots, while kayaking but if you want something for when you are walking to and from the river flip flops or sports shoes are perfect.
