We did the half day rafting tour of the class 1-3 rapids. We were delighted with the experience and the staff. Our guide was highly experiences and very personable. We are new to white water rafting and we felt safe extending ourselves with the guide. I would recommend this crowd to anyone.

We had an excellent float down the Upper New River with Trent as our guide. The float was mellow enough to give my daughters a fun introduction into rafting while also hitting some fun Class I/II rapids to keep things interesting. The rafting outpost set up well and has great changing areas. The crew at the shop is friendly and positive. Mike, the bus driver, is pretty much a legend behind the wheel and full of local knowledge.

We had an amazing experience white water rafting in Lower New river. Dale ‘Crock’ our guide is an awesome guy who not only kept us entertained throughout but had our safety as a top most priority. We highly recommend West Virginia Adventures for your rafting.
