the river is always a fun time! I would've given this place 5 stars, except that when we got dropped off at the start of the river there weren't enough tubes for my group (another group had accidentally walked off with one of ours) and the employees there were not helpful at all and basically told us - go down to the river and ask around and see if anyone has an extra tube... even though they had a HUGE stack of tubes there and they could've just given us one. annoying!
tips:
-double bag keys and cash
-keep your butt up in the shallows (a few in our group got scraped and banged up on the rocks)
-reapply sunscreen. and reapply. and reapply. I reapplied sunscreen four times and still got burned on my legs and stomach.
-bring potato chips. I was really craving some when I saw everyone else on the river eating some!
-bring sunglasses you don't mind losing. I lost mine, but luckily I had gotten them free. we even saw one guy who snorkels around and finds lost sunglasses - he sells the nice ones on ebay and gives the rest away to people tubing in exchange for beer lol
-at least one person in your group should wear water shoes because there are parts where someone will have to stand up and push you or pull you out of the river at the end
