Stony was an excellent whitewater rafting guide. He was funny, and made sure we all had a great time. The seven of us were all able to ride in the same raft and not one of us fell out! We rented in a cabin in Sevierville, so Big Creek Expedition was a bit of a drive, but totally worth it. Joan was very funny too - request Stony or Joan and you won’t be disappointed.

Our guide was Shane and he was awesome! He was a great teacher, pointing out things along the way-from trees, birds and the reason why the water does what it does. He also made sure we knew what to do should we get into trouble (fall in/keep your feet up). We had a blast! Thank you, Shane, for making my first white water rafting trip memorable!!!!
