How Should I Dress for the Tour?

Updated: Jun 10

Dressing appropriately will keep you comfortable and protected during your shelling adventure.

Here’s what to wear (and what to avoid):

✅ DO Wear:

Protective Footwear: Slip-on water shoes, dive booties, or boots with thick soles for foot protection.
Comfortable Bottoms: Quick-dry, form-fitting leggings or rash guards to avoid getting snagged or water-logged.
Skin Coverage: Quick-dry long-sleeve tops to shield against sun and bugs.
Versatile Accessories: A neck gaiter for sun protection, temperature regulation, and securing your hat during the boat ride.
Layering: A lightweight jacket for cooler mornings—easy to carry when it warms up.
Be Visible: Light and bright colors so you can be easily spotted.

❌ DON’T Wear:

Inadequate Footwear: Flip-flops (no protection) and shoes with laces (snag on branches and can cause tripping).
Baggy Clothing: Loose pants or flowy skirts that can catch on trees or trip you.
Minimal Coverage: Bikini tops—they leave too much skin exposed to sun, bugs, and brush.
Bulky Outerwear: Heavy jackets that become a hassle to carry once you've warmed up.
Avoid Blending In: Dark or camouflage colors—they make it harder to spot you.
