Our family of 5 had an amazing time and our guide was incredible. So much fun and all smiles from everyone in the family ages 11-50… we will definitely be back again.

The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish! The guide giving the safety talk was super informative and was able to deliver his message with clarity and humor while still emphasizing important points. Our guide Maddy was the best! Answered all our questions with a smile and made sure we hit the big waves but stayed inside the boat. I can’t say enough good things about our rafting adventure with Smoky Mountain River Rats.
