My experience is similar to Chris Groff's in his review below. We went on dam release day, during a holiday weekend. Overall a fun experience with charismatic guides and good pick up and drop off arrangements. Lehigh River itself was beautiful and scenic, and the rapids (level 3-4) were exciting enough for beginners.

That being said, the operator was understaffed the weekend we went. We had over 15 boats, nearly 100 people, finishing with over 30 boats together after they decided to combine two groups. There were only four guides for our original group. Many had never rafted before - lots of people falling in and rafts getting stuck on rocks. We spent probably 2 of the 5 hours waiting for people to catch up. Like Chris, I'd suggest smaller groups with at least one guide for every two boats.

The understaffing also led to some safety issues. For example, the guides only discovered two people were missing after over an hour (they were in someone else's boat after falling out). My friends and I fell out a couple of times and none of the guides came over to see if we were ok or needed help. I saw others who had fallen out and no guides helped. The safety instructions in the beginning were also difficult to hear (no loud speaker or mic). There were also a few areas where the guides told us to go one by one. With over 30 inexperienced boats, it became an obstacle course with boats and rocks.
