With your confirmed reservation, you will receive a packing list with weather, environmental guidelines, and transportation information to help you plan your vacation. Feel free to call us at 1-800-833-1278 or email us at info@navtec.com if you have questions. Personalized service is always available for you. But here are some general guidelines.

On the trips that feature the overnight Whitewater RHIB boats, please make an effort to pack light. They are great fun, but you must travel light. NAVTEC reserves the right to limit the number of duffles on any of our trips.

During the heat of the summer, light-colored clothing will keep you cooler than dark colored clothing.
