My boyfriend and I did whitewater rafting with this place on July 30th and it was our first time and it was great. Despite the crumby weather, we had a great time and actually got paired with one of the guide's parents who were experienced whitewater rafters/kayakers which made the trip that much better. The guide (I think his name was Kevin) was very nice and knowledgeable and so were his parents. They literally broke bread with my boyfriend and I during lunch lol Although the description of the activity mentions "no experience is necessary", it can be a little dangerous so I don't really recommend it for kids. I saw someone make mention of the limited spacing on the river with large groups and the frequent stopping which I understand can be a little annoying but I understand the reasoning for stopping. The guide would give us guidance on what kind of rapid we were approaching and the best route of travel. As far as the spacing is concerned, I'd suggest smaller groups perhaps? On my trip, rafts oftentimes would bump into each other or be bunched up. Also, you'll be on the river for a few hours so definitely prepare for a workout and eat before and/or bring a lunch. On one last note, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I'd definitely come again!
