This trip was incredible, so well organized. Safety comes first with this group but it was so much fun. 2 adults 3 kids 8-14. Joan Saffold was the best guide ever. Very entertaining and informative made our whole group feel safe while having a blast. Highly recommend.

Had a great time Was the first time my kids (teenagers) and I went white water rafting and it could not have been a better experience Our guide Huey was great and shared with us a lot of information about the area as we floated downriver. He also gave us a great place to eat next door (Pigeon River Doghouse) which was excellent as well As other people have said follow the directions that they give you otherwise who knows where you will end up

Great fun on the Pigeon Forge. A little dull for the more experienced and thrill seeking rafter as the Pigeon Forge offers limited Class III & Class IV rapid opportunities but perfect for beginners, families, or those wanting some relaxation between rapids. Had a blast with my family (1st time out for them) with kids ranging in age from 8-14. Elton our guide provided great instruction on safety and knows the river, the history of the area, and the rapids like the back of his hand. Pulled off a few tricks in an eddy thoroughly soaking everyone and leaving grins from ear to ear. Would definitely go back again next time visiting the area.
