Deborah(front office) and Shane (the guide) were great to work with. The water rafting ride was a lot of fun..

Thank you, Ron! We pride ourselves on having one of the best teams on the river. Deb and Shane are great assets to our team and return to work seasonally with us year after year after year. We are lucky! We hope to see you back again soon!

This crew takes having FUN very seriously... everyone on staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Erin our guide kept us on a high thrill course through the class III and IV rapids. Not sure if you can choose your guide ( I am sure they are all good)... but if you can I would definitely recommend asking for Erin. We had a mixed group on the raft and she made us feel comfortable and had us working as a team through the rapids. If you are planning to spend some time on the river check out Big Creek Expeditions.

This company did a remarkable job. I was scared to death and by the end of the trip was having a blast. The trip was seamless from booking online to changing out of our wet clothes. A must do if you are in the Smokies.
