Went with family 2 adults and 2 children (11yrs and 14yrs) Everyone absolutly loved it! My wife at first wasn't sure about it but she admitted by the end how much she liked floating down the river and the bits with small rapids!
There isn't anywhere to get food so I'd advice to bring sunscreen, food and a drink and be prepared to allow upto 4 to 5 hrs for it.
It's a great way to spend a day, especially when it's really hot!
Going to be going again next year!
