Rafting is great, but I'm a big fan of tubing. It's a bit more relaxing than rafting, but an adventure nonetheless. Delaware River Tubing does it best, and even offers guests a free meal on the water.
There are plenty of places to parasail along the Jersey Shore, but Point Pleasant parasail is one of the more popular - it also scores rave reviews.
