Just had our first white water rafting experience there this past weekend. The staff are all really nice and helpful. Our guide Clay made our trip so much fun! Be sure you book your trip with a company that has LOTS of experience on the river. Big Creek guides do!!! Thank you all for an amazing day!

Great experience! It was our 1st time going white water rafting. We took our children of 10 and 11 years old. We went on the upper river. The company was very professional, organized, and safety was top priority. Adam was our guide was great. He is very experienced and worked well with all the adults and our children. We would defiantly do this again. My girls said this was their favorite experience on our vacation. You can request guides and I would highly recommend this company and Adam as your guide.

I was SO scared to go white water rafting but my husband finally convinced me and I'm SO glad he did! We had so much fun! We went on the Upper River portion of the expedition (which is what I would recommend). Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Dress comfortably because you WILL get soaked!!
