Wear a swimsuit (or swim shorts) under your regular clothes so you can change easily at the river. Bring a towel and warm clothes for after the trip. If it’s cold or rainy, bring extra insulating layers to wear under your paddle jacket (polypropylene, fleece, or wool works best when wet). You can also bring water and a snack for the bus ride after your Sunwapta River rafting trip.
Store any belongings you bring on the bus during the trip.
