    We went rafting Nov 21st. Great tour guides. We didnt want to do the big group tours. This was 2 rafts tour. 7 total people including guides. The class is a 1/2 river raft. Got hung up one time on rocks but otherwise the ride was good. If you want huge thrills and life changing experience this probably isn't the ride for you. Finished the ride with a cold drink where we got picked up.
