I did the small boat whitewater rafting with my 2 kids, 9 and 11, and my dad, 77, and we all loved it! The kids helped row for awhile and also rode up front and just held on. Great waves, lots of splashing. Between the rapids we had a chance to jump in and swim, the water was cold so I would rent a wet suit if your planning on jumping in. Everyone had a great time!
