This was a perfect activity for a large or small group. The guides were all great fun! Everyone that works there is friendly and accommodating, as we had a Type 1 diabetic in the group and needed to take supplies along. They had no trouble helping us out with this. The river is beautiful with lots of history that tour guide will tell you along the way. We had experience rafters, as well as, first timers with us and we all agreed that we would do it again. We had a group of 16 with us and accommodated is all nicely from the ease of online sign up and waivers to getting in the water. Great fun!!
