3 "Big City" West Virginians take to the outdoors and had a great time. The time and attention they pay to their customers is second to none. We had no experience, yet wanted to experience the thrill of whitewater rafting. Rob suggested the upper new river and so glad he did. With the help of our guides Kevin and Tenny...we experienced a great trip, that included the basics of whitewater rafting, the thrill of the rapids, the time to take in the great scenery and the fun of rock jumping. Watching the other rafters going down the river, we could tell there is a special personal touch with this business. We felt like good friends with our guides, not like just another customer or another trip to take down the gorge.

A group of us selected WVA Adventures for a bachelor party weekend. We rafted the New River and our guide was fantastic. In addition, the campsite was very accomodating as they have tents available for rent and a nice area with fire pit, bathrooms, etc. This company is much better than the larger outfits because of the service you receive. I will never raft with anyone else in WVA. Great job!!

Went rafting with New River Scenic Whitewater Tours near Beckley, on Saturday, August 2nd. They are a small river company that have that mom and pop feel, with an excellent cadre of guides who are as fun to watch interacting with each other, as it is to run the rapids. Hooked me up with a military discount, as I serve in the Army at Ft. Bragg. Definitely reccomend this company for rafting fun.
