Our family had the BEST time! Our guide, Free, not only made us feel 100% comfortable with our skills by the time they were needed, he did so with 4 who had not been on the river in over 15 years and 1 newbie. :) Plus, my hubby and I are in our 60's. :) The scenery was breath-taking and rapids exhilarating! I would highly recommend this trip.
