Wear close-fitting swim clothes you are comfortable getting wet and muddy. Bring a towel, a change of clothes, and bug repellent. Pull back long hair, and consider a light raincoat or wetsuit top in winter or rainy weather.
No prior experience is necessary. Start with equipment outfitting and training from certified guides before the tour.
This tour operates only in low-water conditions. High water may move the experience to another area location; if that site costs less, you will receive the price difference back. If you decline the alternate site, a future booking credit will be offered.
