What To Expect

Adventures on the Gorge

Meet your rafting trip leader at the departure point. You will listen to a brief orientation and get your gear (personal flotation device, helmet and paddle). Then, you will have a 30-minute ride on a school bus down to the river put-in. Your guide will go over additional instructions once you get in the raft. The trip begins with a few smaller class I-III rapids as you ease into paddling and working as a team. Then, you hit some bigger rapids rated class IV-V. About half way through the trip, your trip will pull over and eat a deli-style lunch on the shore. After lunch, you will continue downstream into the heart of the Gorge. Here you’ll go through several rapids rated class III-V. Between rapids, there is time for swimming, floating and maybe (based on water levels) jumping off of rocks. The trip ends just past the New River Gorge Bridge.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We've rafted with Adventures on the Gorge a few times over the last two years and they never fail to exceed expectations! The guides are always friendly, professional informative and entertaining! The store on site has everything you may have forgotten to bring along and a great selection of t-shirts and other types of souvenirs . After the trip complimentary drinks (pop and beer) are supplied for the bus trip back. I just wish that they would offer bottled water, not everyone is a beer drinker! The private hot showers and changing rooms are also always clean and well kept. We will be going back again this fall. It is our family's favorite summer get-a-way!

We had a great time on our trip. The guide was very knowledgeable about the river and the local history of the area, plus he made sure we had all we could handle in regards to the rapids. His name is "Caveman," and we highly recommend asking for him by name. Jon and Laura from Lebanon,OH
