My wife and I have never been white-water rafting,...

My wife and I have never been white-water rafting, but we thought it looked fun, so we booked with Wilderness Voyageurs to do white water rafting on the lower portion (class 3 rapids) of the river that runs through Ohiopyle, PA. Had an absolute blast doing it, and they took very good care of everyone in the entire group. All totalled, there were approx 72+ people on the same excursion (6 people to a raft), and they had about 5-6 guides total for the entire excursion. 2 were in kayaks, one had a solo raft with supplies, and then 2-3 more were in rafts with groups. But they herded us down the river, helping us to navigate the rapids on the trickier ones (more significant drops & dimple rock, which has an underwater cavern to it - very dangerous). The guides were helpful, and very friendly. Only thing that I think would have been helpful - before we actually launched, the guides went through some pretty basic instructions on what to do in certain situations, etc... I wish they would have conveyed at that time that about 10-20% of us would need to use some of these safety techniques (i.e. white water safety position), because after the trip, I'm pretty sure at least 15 people (of the 72+) ended up getting tossed out of their raft in the middle of a rapid. Everyone was fine (no injuries) - but it was not until the I saw another raft completely flip during one rapid that I realized how important some of the safety talk really was. I would highly recommend the experience with this organization. They did a very good job - but pay close attention to the safety talk before you launch and know the white water safety position. You may need to know that.
