We had a great time, our guide Kody was great with the kids in our group ensuring they got wet but were safe. It was a fun trip.

We had a FANTASTIC time with Big Creek Expeditions! Our guide, Cody, was very knowledgeable and helped an inexperienced crew navigate the river with ease. My kids had a blast (10yr and 5yr) - as well as the older “kids” (23, 34, 38, 56). Cody made sure my kids were having fun - he made sure to hit a couple small rapids for them. They cheered very loudly - it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Gatlinburg. Highly Recommend. Thanks Cody!
