We had a blast on our raft trip! Randy did a great job! I would highly recommend this! We still had fun even though it rained some of the time.

Our family has the best time rafting with Abby! She knew the river well and for most of the raft being inexperienced she made sure we had a great time and we were safe! I am so glad we did this!’

This was an excellent experience and probably the highlight of our trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. Our river guide was "Rev Dean the Dunking Machine". He made this experience top notch. He brought 30+ years of experience to the table (or river), had great stories, was extremely informative about the river, the rapids, the surrounding areas, and even provided some historical insights. The rapids were exhilarating, and with Rev. Dean's experience, to some degree, he could custom tailor each ones experience for a more or less intense ride base on the angle and approach into and through each section of white water. This was our first experience with white water rafting (family of four) and it was unanimous that this was awesome and we will certainly be back! We will also be sure to ask for Rev Dean again too. He is a great people person and really takes the whole experience to the next level of great service and fun. Dean, if you read this, thanks again for the great time and making our trip a memorable one!
