For most tours, unless otherwise stated, you will need to bring:

1.    Layered sports clothing that is warm and hydrophobic (does not hold water like cotton) such as wool, polypro or other synthetic. Even in mid-summer during the day the ocean weather can be cool.

2.    Raincoat and rain hat "just in case!"

3.    Shoes that will get wet.  You have to wade out to about mid-calf to get into a kayak.  Mukluks, booties or aqua socks are best.

4.    Sun hat, sunscreen and sun glasses for day tours. The sun's water-bounced rays can add up quickly to a burn or strained eyes.

5.    Filled water bottle, high-energy snacks (and lunch if an all day tour.)

6.    Spare clothes in a plastic bag for one of the million and one in a million mishaps.

For nighttime paddles a flashlight or headlamp is important and required.
