For $ 10/tube, you really can’t go wrong. My family went early morning so we were the only ones there. There are tubes with bottoms for the young ones and the life vests are optional. The driver drove us to the site and gave us direction on where he would pick us up in a couple of hours and then we were on our own. We have young children so we had to get straps so we could hook 2 tubes together. He told is keep left, or right. I didn’t know whether the river was going to split off but apparently the directions were to about rocks. When we reached the pick up point, the driver bus was already there. It was fun. There were some tiny Rapids which threw off our 5 yr old — good thing he was wearing a vest!
