Planning your first adventure trip in may raise a few questions, especially if you’re new to outdoor activities. At Spainventure, we organize safe, guided, adrenaline-filled experiences, and that’s why we want to help you pack like a real explorer.
Andalucía is one of Europe’s most thrilling destinations for outdoor enthusiasts, offering everything from rugged mountains to crystal-clear rivers and Mediterranean coastline.
Whether you’re joining us for canyoning, kayaking, hiking or a custom multi-activity day, the right preparation can elevate your experience and keep you safe, comfortable and focused on enjoying the moment.
In this practical guide, we’ll show you exactly what to bring on your next adventure trip—so all you need to worry about is choosing which unforgettable experience to try first.
1. Wear the right clothes for the right adventure
Comfort is key. For canyoning, hiking or kayaking, we recommend lightweight, technical, quick-drying clothes. Avoid cotton and go for breathable fabrics.
A light windbreaker or waterproof jacket can be essential if the weather shifts unexpectedly. Don’t forget a change of clothes if your adventure involves water.

2. Footwear that supports you in every step
On any adventure trip, your feet are your best ally. Wear closed, non-slip shoes designed for rough terrain. For water activities, go with water-resistant shoes or bring an extra pair to change into. Avoid flip-flops or open shoes, as they can be dangerous.
3. Light backpack, smart essentials
You don’t need to carry your whole house, but bringing the right items can make your adventure trip smoother, safer and more enjoyable. Think minimal but intentional: pack light, but don’t skip the essentials. Here’s what we recommend including:
- Water: At least 1L per person, preferably in a reusable bottle.
- Sunscreen: High SPF, water-resistant if your activity includes water.
- Hat or cap: To protect from direct sunlight, especially in open areas.
- Sunglasses: With UV protection.
- Snacks: Energy bars, nuts, or fruit for a quick energy boost.
- Small towel: Microfiber is best—lightweight and dries fast.
- Dry clothes: In case your activity involves getting wet.
- Spare contact lenses or glasses: If you wear them regularly.
- Basic first aid kit: Plasters, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medication.
Packing smart helps you stay focused on the adventure without worrying about discomfort or lack of preparation. And remember—your backpack should be compact and comfortable to carry for several hours.
4. ID and personal items
Bring your ID, a payment method (in case it’s needed during transport or check-in), and make sure your phone is fully charged. If you take any medication or have a medical condition your guide should know about, make sure to inform them before the activity begins.
5. The right mindset for the adventure
Beyond gear, the most important thing you can bring is an open, flexible attitude and the excitement to try something new. Every activity is designed for all levels, so just trust the team, follow the guide, and enjoy the journey. The best memories happen outside your comfort zone.
