Tips:
 
When planning your float trip, you should keep in mind that dealers and rentals are common. You might be able to find a raft or inflatable for rent on the river near well-known floats spots.
 
To have a good time on the river, you should clear your litter after yourself and clean up when others forget. Alwaiys apply plenty of sunscreen, drink responsibly, and keep it light while still having fun!
 
I suggest doing two trips, one with the family and one with adults. Both experiences are fun, but completely different from each other.
