Disappointing and Underwhelming ...
Harpers Ferry Adventure Center的点评
点评：I really wanted to enjoy this, but calling our experience “whitewater rafting” felt extremely generous.
The website advertises a 7 mile guided trip with Class I to III rapids. What we experienced felt much more like a guided float or slow kayak tour.
We were instructed by email to arrive 30 minutes early, and we did. After checking in, we were sent to the picnic area where we sat for another 30 minutes with no explanation. I finally went back inside and learned they were holding our group for guests, not in our party, who were running late. Those guests ultimately were so late they were moved from our 1:30 launch to the 3:30 trip anyway.
Once on the river, it was extremely underwhelming. From drop off to pickup, we traveled alongside people leisurely floating in inner tubes and children swimming and playing in the same river.
We actively paddled for maybe 25 minutes TOTAL. The guide did most of the steering and paddling.
And I am genuinely not exaggerating when I say we experienced approximately 45 SECONDS of actual rapids.
Forty five seconds.
We also had to pull over for a mandatory “break” on a tiny rocky area with some sand. We asked if we could skip it and continue and were told no. With so little paddling or whitewater activity already happening, the mandatory stop made the trip feel unnecessarily stretched out.
The price made this even more disappointing. Tubing was around $50 per person while our “whitewater rafting” trip was around $95. Yet we spent essentially the entire route alongside people tubing the same river.
Everyone in our group was underwhelmed.
I understand river conditions change and this is advertised as beginner friendly. But there is a difference between beginner friendly whitewater rafting and a long, mild river float with approximately 45 seconds of rapids.
For a family introducing a young child to rafting, this could honestly be great. For adults expecting an exciting whitewater experience based on the advertising, seriously temper your expectations.
For approximately $95 per person, we left feeling like we'd paid almost twice the tubing price to float down essentially the same river wearing helmets.

翻译：我本真希望能尽情享受这次体验，但把我们的经历称作“白水漂流”实在有些言过其实了。
网站上宣传的是一次7英里长的有向导带领的行程，沿途会有I级到III级的急流。而我们实际上经历的更像是一次有向导陪同的漂流，或者慢速皮划艇之旅。
我们通过邮件接到指示，要提前30分钟到达，我们也照做了。办理完登记手续后，我们被带到野餐区，在那里又等了30分钟，却没有任何说明。我最终回到室内，才得知他们把我们这一组人安排接待给其他客人——那些客人原本也在我们的旅行团中，只是迟到了。不过那些客人实在来得太晚，最后干脆被安排到3点半的班次，而不是我们原定的1点半的行程。
上了船后，体验也极其乏味。从出发到返程，我们一直与那些悠闲地乘着橡皮艇漂流的人，以及正在河里游泳嬉戏的孩子们相伴同行。
我们总共也就努力划桨了大概25分钟左右罢了。向导承担了大部分的掌舵和划桨工作。
说实话，我们确实只经历了大约45秒的真正急流时段。
就45秒而已。
此外，我们还不得不在一个布满岩石且带点沙子的小区域上强制“休息”一番。我们询问是否可以跳过这个环节继续前行，但得到的答复是否定的。由于整个行程中几乎没什么划桨或激流体验，这次强制停留让整个旅程显得毫无必要地拖沓冗长。价格更是让这次体验变得令人失望。漂流的费用大约是每人50美元，而我们参加的“激流漂流”项目则要95美元左右。然而实际上，我们几乎全程都是和那些在同一条河上玩漂流的人并行而行的。
我们一行人都觉得很失望。
我明白河流状况会变化，而且这个项目也宣传为适合初学者参与。不过，适合初学者的激流漂流和那种全程水流平缓、只有大约45秒急流经历的漂流体验之间还是有很大差别的。对于想要带年幼孩子体验漂流的家庭来说，这确实可能是个不错的选择。但那些看到广告宣传后期望获得刺激漂流水体验的成年人，还是务必降低自己的期望值吧。
每人花费约95美元后，我们觉得自己几乎付出了两倍于普通漂流的费用，结果只是戴着头盔沿着同一条河漂流而已。
