Glacier Kayaking Juneau questons?

[YellowRoseTexas]

I have booked this trip for our first cruise May 17 to Alaska :) and I would like to know if someone could tell me what to wear and what to bring. It is a 2 seat and I will be w/my husband - but we are from Texas and when it gets 60 degrees we drag out sweaters? Shoe suggestions? I have camera and binocs....any and all help is appreciated!

This is a very tame kayak trip on a lake. Check the weather and bring rain gear if necessary- they do go out in the rain. Bring an extra pair of socks, nothing worse than wet socks. :)

If it is a small backpack, you do have a little room by your feet. I've also seen some people just wearing the back pack while kayaking. This isn't the place to over pack.

suggestion for shoes? Water shoes okay? or just tennis shoes?

If you mean those beach shoes you wear in the water??? Those are too cold for Alaska. Hopefully you have some water resistant footwear? As a suggestion, take what you have and give them a couple sprays of waterproofing- available at Walmart.

What about a "fanny pack"? It can be adjusted higher on the body and would make a great place for cameras. It is possible? Just a thought.
