My daughters begged to go white water rafting while in Gatlinburg. I am in my 40s, severely out of shape, and petrified of water. I tried to to talk them into going on the lower river “float” instead and they were having a fit insisting that wouldn’t be any fun. I reluctantly gave in and went. I was so scared before we got in the water. I made sure our guide, Isaiah, knew I hated the water and was only there because I wouldn’t let my girls go without me. He definitely made our trip a memorable one. He made sure the girls had lots of fun while also ensuring me of our safety. I am not sure how he did it, but I was not at all scared through the entire trip. My husband, daughters, and I all agree that this was, by far, the best thing we did on our vacation. I can’t say thank you enough Isaiah!

There's something about overcoming a fear that makes you proud of yourself. We are impressed that you went for it, and so glad you had a great time. We'll be sure that Isaiah knows you mentioned him. Thanks for your review, and come back and see us again! #GoWithSMO

We did the Upper River Rafting trip and had an excellent time. We enjoyed our guide, Bo, and while the rapids were great, we felt safe and in good hands the entire trip. We booked ahead of time and got the promotion for the free photo package. Our photos turned out great! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our family of 6.
