My husband and I had never been whitewater rafting, but decided to give it a try (I love water but was scared to death!). The water is really not that scary, at least not on our trip which was 6/30/05. Guides were great (swear ours was Owen Wilson!); mostly young college age--lot of fun. Wet suits and booties were a little scary, but you get over it. You'll definitely want to shower after! Don't let all the talk of the class rapids and liability waivers scare you away--it's not that dangerous and ended up being a highlight of our trip!
