Fun ride; long ride for the money; wear sandles/surf shoes; Frisbee paddle needed on some parts; rapids can be tricky; if you are over 5ft tall, use the largest tube.
Good fun.. best to go with a group or as a couple.. bring a personal cooler and a phone protector! Takes about 2 hours from start to finish depending on weather conditions. Had a blast.. Will definitely be back with more friends
We had a great time, the water was just high enough to clear most of the hidden rocks. Just a warning about the second set of rapids: Aim for the left side. I went down the middle and flipped and hit my shoulder very badly. The staff helped me catch my breath and get back on the tube. A waterproof dry-bag paid for itself by saving my phone.
What a great time for my husband and I! We did not find the "rapids" part challenging at all and just went with the current (don't try to use your hands to direct yourself). We stopped near a rock after the second rapids to lay in the sun since it was so beautiful out. The water was a little cold but refreshing for a 85 degree day. If you're fair skinned, definitely use sunscreen because it's direct sunlight. The river took us about 2 hours since we stopped and took our time, we wished we could have kept going! The bus picked us up at the end and drove us back. I wore my bathing suit with a short pair of shorts and flip flops and was very comfortable. My husband and I used our life jackets to join our tubes together at the handles so we could stay together. I put my flip flops under the other handle of the tube and they were secure! The water was only about knee deep so definitely be aware of going over rocks. All in all, we can't wait to do this again!
Not for people who can't swim in case you flip your tube and not for people looking to just float down a river. Great for hot days but wear sunscreen. There's some good rapids in the beginning and then here and there throughout. You get there, pay, get a tube, float and chill, get out and take a bus back to your car. All in all a good time for $20 as it takes over an hour to get down the river.
