Friendly guide (thank you Tyler) and a perfect way to spend an afternoon with the family. Not too rough, and the perfect duration (< 2 hours), it was a great ride and well worth the money spent. Terrific T-shirts as a souvenir, and only 45 minutes from Gatlinburg, a no-nonsense operation that is safe and fun.

We went yesterday afternoon and had such a great time! After being split into our raft groups and getting our equipment we were driven upstream and given our safety briefing on the bus. Our guide TJ was very experienced and friendly. We felt very safe in his hands and were given clear directions at all times. We got to go through 4 x class 4 rapids and several smaller ones getting some great splashes! My partner even jumped in for a swim in the slower section but the water was a little too cold for me. Highly recommend and thanks TJ!
