What is best/safest to use on a float trip : raft...tube or anything else ?

Question

This will be my first float trip and I'm told we can choose what we want for the float. I really have no idea what all the choices will be, but I'd like to use whatever is safest or doesn't flip over. We'll have life vests, but I still want to avoid flipping over if possible.

Answer 1

I would recomend a raft... I was on a tube once without a lifevest.. Me and a freind were on a tube in the Trinity river in california and it flipped in a undertow right over a big rock, I was sinking and all i could see was my freinds foot, i grabbed his foot and pulled myself up.. that was the closest i ever came to drowning..

Answer 2

Id go with a raft, its much bbetter than a tube, but i would also take a good life vest like this http://www.boatersworld.com/product/3960...

the vest will be more important than the tube/raft.

still, i would go with a raft.
