- To embark on this adventurous date, you'll need to dress appropriately. Consider quick-dry sportswear and waterproof boots. Don't forget your swimsuits if you plan to take a dip in the lake. Bring along a dry bag for your personal items and a picnic lunch to enjoy on one of the islands.
- Make sure to book your kayaks a day or two in advance, especially during summer. Kayaks are in high demand, and it's best to ensure you have yours reserved. Remember to have an early meal before your trip - you'll need the energy.
- Besides physically preparing, it's also important to prepare mentally. This is an adventure activity, and while it's not inherently dangerous, it does require a certain level of physical fitness and mental toughness.

- If either of you is not confidently athletic, do not push to paddle too hard in the beginning. It is important to keep the experience enjoyable for both and maintain your energy for the long ride.
- Safety should be your primary concern. Always keep your lifejacket on and make sure to follow all given safety instructions. If you are not comfortable swimming, inform the rental staff, and they will provide additional safety equipment.
