Children from age 4 are welcome, and the pace suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?The rapids demand active paddling and water entry for most of the day, so come ready to get wet and work the paddle—this is not a scenic float. The eight-hour commitment includes travel time, so plan the day around it and don't book if you have an afternoon flight or a fixed evening plan.
