I think this is important to note. Although packrafts are pretty stable there is still alot of scope to get into trouble paddling whitewater.
Looks like you're on the right track looking for people to go with, but don't fall into the heuristic trap of thinking that just because they have done it before that they know what they're doing. At minimum you should do some swift water rescue training, get to know your gear and start easy (grade 2 or less), and whatever you do wear a helmet!
