Canoes are excellent if you are traditional or just have an urge to be on the water but have only a limited amount of time or if you have more time and would like to do some fishing. Rafts are great, but there's no chance of a fish hook putting a hole in a canoe, if you know what we mean.

Rafting is the way to go! Experience the peace of the river on a raft. They are very difficult to tip over so they're ideal for kids and those who'd like to forego chasing their stuff and paddles down the river. You can straddle the sides like a horse or lay with your back on one side with your feet propped on the other. For additional comfort, choose a larger raft.
If you're really special or just in the "Queen of Sheeba" mood, ask and we'll make sure you end up with only one paddle - so you can just "direct".

Kids love to tube, but if you have smaller children why not also rent a raft so they can trade off or get into the raft if they get cold or tired.
