Our family of 6 had a blast. This was our first time rafting and much easier than we thought. You will get wet and need to know how to paddle. Our guide Josh was very knowledgeable and we got into the river last and finished 1st! The whole process was very organized. There is a bus ride to the beginning spot and you end up at the main facility. There are lockers, concession stand and gift shop. A definite must when visiting the area.
