Let It Go! Why Your Phone Is Better Left on Shore

You’re ready to go—life jacket on, helmet fitted—and just before getting in, the same question always comes up: What should I do with my phone?

Our honest advice? Leave it behind.

Why We Don’t Take Dry Bags or Barrels on the Boat

We intentionally don’t provide waterproof bags or containers for guests. Why? Because in reality, they often create more risk than protection.

All it takes is a small mistake:
A lid not properly closed, a seal slightly off—and suddenly water gets in.

The problem? It’s not just one phone at risk, but several at once.

And that’s exactly what we want to avoid.

Safety Comes First — Always

On our boats, we follow one simple rule:
👉 We only take what is truly essential for safety

What does that mean?

No backpacks 
No phones 
No loose items

Because anything that isn’t secured can become a risk—especially in waves or in the unlikely event of a flip.
And that’s not just a danger for you, but for the entire group

Phone in the Raft? Not a Good Idea.

As tempting as it is—your phone simply doesn’t belong in the boat.

Why?

It distracts you 
It can fall into the water at any moment 
It gets damaged faster than you think

And those “just for a second” moments?
They’re usually exactly when something goes wrong.

👉 Our tip: Experience the adventure first-hand—not through a screen

Good News: We Take the Photos for You 📸

So you won’t miss out on the memories—we’ve got you covered.

Our guides (and photographers) capture action-packed shots of you during the tour 🌊

That way, you can fully focus on the experience—and still take home some amazing memories afterwards

👉 For just €15 per registered group, you can purchase the photos after the tour.

No risk for your phone—and usually with much better photos😉

What Can You Bring on the Boat?

One thing actually makes sense:

👉A bottle of water 💧

Especially on warm days, it’s important—and easy to store safely in the boat.

Everything else should stay on shore

Please Eat Before the Tour — For You and for Nature 🌿

It’s best to eat before the tour.

That comes with several advantages:

You’ll have enough energy 💪
You avoid getting hungry on the river
And you help keep the river clean 🌊

Eating on the water often leads to packaging or leftovers ending up in the river—and that’s exactly what we want to prevent 🚫

Fresh Spring Water — Drink Straight from the Waterfall 💧

Along the route, you’ll find fresh spring water straight from nature. Sounds amazing—and it is.

But: Not every stomach handles it well.

If you’re sensitive:
👉 Better skip it to avoid any discomfort after the tour

Bring Less, Experience More 🌊

In the end, it’s simple:

The less you bring, the better your experience will be.

Without your phone:

You’re fully in the moment 
You focus on your team 
And you experience nature more intensely

Conclusion

The question “What should I do with my phone on the boat?” is easy to answer:

Leave it on shore.

We take care of the safety, create an unforgettable experience, and even provide the photos afterwards 📸

All that’s left for you to do?

Get in and enjoy the ride 🚣‍♂️✨
