Now it's such a perfect rafting rapids that you'd think Disney designed it. You go from a pretty intense class IV+ into a rock tunnel. Highly recommended.
Interactive tour.

One of my friends is a part-time rafting guide in that area (full-time lawyer too). He puts together a trip for his friends every year, but thus far I haven't been able to go on it. Maybe next year.
