This was our first ever RR experience. We were all very excited to take this adventure. There were six of us plus our guide “Rev. Dean the Duncan Machine”. Dean absolutely made this experience one to remember. His 20+years of experience, knowledge of the river along with his enthusiasm and attitude made this a truly fun filled exciting trip. We defiantly recommend you take this trip. Ask for Rev. Dean the Duncan Machine, you won’t be disappointed. “Go Wolley’s!”

Dean is all-star of whitewater in the Southeast, and I am so glad you have a great time with him. We are proud to have him on our staff, and I thank you for the great comments. Please feel free to request him on your next trip to the mountains! See you on the river! Susan Smoky Mountain Outdoors

Enjoyed an upper river raft trip today. The company is organized and professional. Our guide, Ziggy, did a great job in instructing the overall group and was very personable. He provided our individual raft group some interesting information about the river and area, including telling us about a great endeavor the local outfits do annually in getting together for a river cleanup (which was delayed this year due to flooding). Glad there are ongoing efforts to keep the area beautiful.
