Operators provide helmets, wetsuits and paddles. Bring a swimsuit to wear under the wetsuit, water shoes or old trainers with a secure strap, and a dry bag for your phone and valuables. Sessions run up to 3 hours on cold glacier-fed water, so a synthetic base layer under the wetsuit is a smart addition in May and June.
