Despite the disorganized and rather large crowd, at the beginning of the trip, waiting for the shuttle to take us up stream, once we launched a very fun experience. If you are just looking for a kid friendly and non water expert tubing trip, this short (2 hour) float is what you're seeking. Water shoes (to push out of the stream side branches the the current forces you into) are highly recommended. Don't forget a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. If you can get them to give you a paddle, all the better for steering, which is difficult without one. I was with a group of 10... fun... we'll be back.
