This is a great first white water rafting adventure. We have done this 4 or 5 times- each time bringing along "newbies." The trips are in 2 hour time frames (with a small discount for the late day trips), but that does include getting gear, safety instructions, bus ride. The river time is about 60 minutes and includes several grade IV and III rapids. If you're already done WV rafting trips this would probably seem tame, but for older rafters, very young rafters, or first timers it is a perfect and thrilling trip. Jennifer was our guide, and she a great job steering us into the fun parts or the river and keeping us out of the problem areas. She was able to haul in rafters who were bounced out of other rafts. Very fun. We will be back again.
