    Had a great time. They seemed a bit disorganized but they also had over 250 people to get on the river and a broken bus...so some disorganization is to be expected. We had a wonderful adventure and the 3 miles took just about 4 hours. Learned a few things... Bring bungee chords to attach tubes together rather than using their string. Don't get out of your tube unless you are strong enough to get back in. If you choose to swim. Wear your vest.
