Can I participate if I don't know how to swim?
Yes. All participants wear Coast Guard-approved life jackets and paddle under direct supervision of certified guides trained in water safety and rescue procedures. Swimming skills are not required.

Essential items: waterproof phone case, small towel, reef-safe sunscreen, waterproof sandals or flip-flops, bottled water, and a change of clothes. Optional: waterproof camera, personal dry bag, hat, and sunglasses with strap.
What clothing is recommended for daytime kayaking?
Wear lightweight, quick-dry athletic clothing such as moisture-wicking t-shirts and shorts or lightweight track pants. Long sleeves help prevent sunburn from extended sun exposure. Avoid jeans and heavy cotton fabrics that retain moisture. Footwear should be water-friendly: flip-flops, water sandals, or specialized paddling shoes.
