How much boating experience is needed to
rent and drive a houseboat?
None. Most of the marinas or houseboat rental agencies have made it so easy
that almost anyone can do it. The boats generally don't go very fast, the
hulls are very durable, and the instructions are thorough. Many marinas
will also drive the boat in and out of the dock for you. All that is left
for you to do is find a cove that you like and tie off the boat. In fact,
tying the boat off, although relatively easy, may be the most difficult part
of any houseboat trip.

Answer 2:
Is rafting really that dangerous?
Rafting can be dangerous. That is a large part of its appeal. On most
trips though, even if someone falls in, the chances of being seriously hurt
are pretty slim. In addition, with the equipment and techniques used today,
rafting has become much safer than in the past. However, the biggest factor
in making sure you have a safe and enjoyable trip is the outfitter. Be sure
to check safety records and procedures. Also, an outfitter that has been
around awhile will have a lot of valuable experience that goes a long way to
making sure you have a safe trip.
