WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

Remember the less you bring, the easier it is. There’s plenty of space in the kayaks if you pack wisely.

• Thermal base layers, at least two sets of tops.
• Wool or fleece thermal mid layer.
• Hiking pants. We don’t recommend cotton as it is cold and takes a long time to dry.
• Waterproof and breathable pants and jacket for hiking onshore. The lighter – the better.
• Wool/fleece hat.
• One pair of warm gloves for camp.
• 2 to 3 pairs thick wool/synthetic socks.
• Light hiking shoes for strolls in and around camp.
• Sleeping bag rated to at least 0°C. Down is best since it packs smaller than synthetic.
• Sleeping mattress. A thin inflatable one is best as it easily fits inside the boat.
• Sun glasses.
• Sunscreen and after sun cream.
• 1 litre water bottle.
• Personal medical kit i.e. band aids, throat lozenges, lip salves, sea-sickness tablets etc. Don't forget your personal medication which you may need (e.g. Asthma inhaler, even if you don’t always need it).
• 2 x Dry bags*
• Binoculars are nice to have for watching wildlife. (optional)
• Don't forget your camera!

*We use dry bags to keep our personal gear dry, especially our sleeping bags. We have a small selection of dry bags which you may use but you should bring at least two of your own. Test it to make sure that all of your gear fits inside!

We supply all paddling gear and clothing. However, feel free to bring your own if you have it available. Your personal gear is guaranteed to fit perfectly and it is comfortable

We also have sleeping bags and sleeping pads available to rent. Please email us if you would like to add this on.
