Big Creek Expeditions was amazing! Our guide, Darrell U, was a great leader in our raft. He was well informed and lots of fun!

This was one of the best parts of our family vacation! Our guide was Huey and made our trip very memorable! He shared interesting facts as we went down river alongside multiple stories! I would highly recommend doing this and ask for Huey!!

We planned this rafting trip from a distance and there were SO many rafting companies to choose from. Do yourself a favor and choose Big Creek Expeditions! Having done similar tours in the past, we knew that the guide makes or breaks the entire experience. Not only was our guide Ernie skillful, knowledgeable, personable and friendly, but it was obvious the entire team of guides worked well together. This was our kids’ first experience with rafting and Ernie was so sweet with them. The lower creek rapids were perfect for a first timer. We’ll have great memories of a wonderful experience! Also, we were delighted to find a few food trucks on grounds of the rafting headquarters- perfect for a bite to eat after a trip down the river.
