Great experience, especially as it was our first rafting. We got lost on the way and turned up a little late, they just rescheduled us a little and we had the full fun - thanks for that, guys!

This was the second time that I have used Big Creek Expeditions for my white water rafting experience. Had a great time rafting down the Pigeon with Jedi Mike as our guide! Will definitely be back!

This is the best river to be on for your first time white water rafting. midway through the river we stop in the middle of the waves and set there. Also one mile down we jumped in the calm section of the river. Tour guide told us jokes and smiled the whole time plus a history lesson. Best day of the trip!
