How To Pack for an Adventure Travel Vacation

July 23, 2008.

Hey all you adventure travelers out there…  there’s an interesting article in today’s San Francisco Chronicle about packing light.  Now, these tips do not necessarily apply to O.A.R.S. whitewater rafting vacations, however, the author offers great general ideas.

I particularly like her suggestion that “a sarong is the traveling girl’s Swiss Army knife.”  I agree - I never take a trip without one.

It’s probably not necessary to pack that “little black dress” on, say, a Klinaklini River trip.  (Maybe a little black lightweight parka…) All O.A.R.S.’ trip itineraries offer detailed suggested packing list specific to a particular trip or region, generated by expert Adventure Consultants, staff and guides who have thousands of trips and decades of adventure travel and river-running experience under their sarongs.  (All trip itineraries can be downloaded from the O.A.R.S. website to assist you with your travel planning.)
