Brother nature aka Paul, I hope you are reading this. Lovely experience and lovely guide. Did rafting for the first time and was amazed by the beauty of nature. Paul was our instructor. He made the experience memorable. Must do thing in Gatlinburg.

We had a great time. We had never gone white water rafting previously and were a little nervous! However, our guide was incredibly laid back and got us properly prepped. The trip is amazing. The Pigeon River is a beautiful area and those who are on the fence of this experience, really should go for it.

Went with a group of six with most of the group going rafting for the first time. Our guide, Ziggy, was very professional and funny. He guided us safely while also giving us great information about the area. He also recommended other things to do in the area during our stay. We had a super fun time and felt safe the entire time. Thank you, Ziggy, for an awesome trip!!!!
