So good I did it twice in one day! - Oh my God, what a blast!!! I booked the morning whitewater rafting trip and had so much fun that, upon return, I walked straight out of the van and into their office to sign up for the afternoon trip. Did it twice in one day and would have done a third if I could :) This is a great rafting trip because the water is huge but the rapids aren't themselves super technical, so it's exhilarating whether you are a newbie or have whitewater experience. The guides have great "crazy river man" personalities and do a fantastic job of (1) creating a jovial, loose spirit among the group, and (2) communicating safety information. They are a highly competent group of leaders -- they are able to facilitate a lot of playfulness, such as standing up in the raft through waves, etc, that is the result of them being really highly skilled on the water. I had fun jumping around in the boat and dancing and standing up, although my ACLs and knees were praying for their lives lol. There is a safety kayaker who also takes pictures and the guides wear Go Pros, so you get great footage. Having gone both in the morning and afternoon, MORNING is much better for photos/videos if that is important to you -- the sun is behind you in the afternoon, meaning everything comes out darker. So if you care about the quality of photos, then consider doing this in the morning. Fantastic experience. I spent a lot of time on whitewater growing up, and I found myself quite emotional at how this 10k on the river let me reconnect with those memories.
