What to Wear River Tubing

Wear a swimsuit or shorts that can get wrecked, a sun shirt if you burn, and strap-on sandals or water shoes. Flip-flops leave you. Cotton stays heavy and cold when wet.

Quick Facts

• Suit or wreckable shorts
• Strap-on footwear — not loose flip-flops
• Shirt for sun; avoid heavy cotton
• Jewelry and loose glasses are easy to lose

FAQ

Sneakers? Old ones work if they stay on. Expect them soaked.

Wetsuit? Only if the water is cold and the livery says so. Hot-day floats usually do not need one.

Can I wear jewelry? You can lose it. Leave valuables ashore.
