Sidekick Pro Tips 💡

Exclusive advice from our local adventure experts

✨

Avoid Cotton Clothing

Cotton t-shirts stay wet and cold. Opt for quick-dry synthetic fabrics or lycra to keep your body temperature balanced in the ice-cold river.

✨

Secure Your Eyewear

If you must wear glasses, please bring a secure strap. However, for the ultimate freedom, contact lenses are highly recommended for the rapids.

✨

Pre-Adventure Hydration

Don’t let the cool water fool you; the Mediterranean sun is strong! Drink plenty of water before the tour starts to stay energetic all day.

✨

Footwear Strategy

Flip-flops easily float away in the currents. Wear strapped sandals or dedicated water shoes to protect your feet on the slippery river rocks.
