How to prepare for a kayaking tour?

Preparing for a kayaking tour with Connemara Escape:

• • Please dress comfortably in easy-drying fitness clothing or hiking attire, especially if the weather forecast predicts rain and cold temperatures. For rainy and windy conditions, windproof and waterproof hiking clothes are recommended. 

• • Ensure your shoes are suitable for getting slightly wet, and consider bringing spare shoes to change into after kayaking. 

• • On sunny days, wetsuit shoes, water shoes, fit flops, or clogs are ideal. 

• • Don’t forget to pack a towel and change clothes for after kayaking, and remember to wear a sunhat, apply suncream, and wear sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun’s rays. Even on overcast days, a sunhat can provide protection. 

• • Bringing a bottle of water and a small snack is advisable for the tour. 

• • Consider bringing an extra jumper or lightweight jacket, although one medium-sized dry bag per kayak will be provided. 

• • Buoyancy aids will be supplied, and comprehensive instructions will be given throughout the tour. A guide will accompany you at all times

  •  While we’re happy to take pictures for you, you’re welcome to bring your phone. Just ensure it’s protected with a waterproof cover or a sealed plastic bag.
