Although my wife and I have canoed many times this was our first experience at white water rafting. Big Creek Expeditions and our guide Chris couldn't have done a better job at making it a great time. I would recommend Big Creek to anyone who is thinking of rafting the Pigeon River. Kudos to the entire staff of Big Creek, they were all very friendly and helpful. A very special thanks to Chris, your awesome.

White Water rafting is a Blast!! I read previous reviews and requested Benji, he was Awesome... He taught respect for the river,having fun, making noice, and "Making Memories" . My husband and my two boys and a friend 12yr, 15yr, 15yr, enjoyed this experience with Big Creek Exp. Beautiful scenery along the River "High Five with the Paddles one more time.."

Our white water rafting guide, Benji, was awesome. I've been rafting several times and he was the best guide yet. He knows the river and made it an awesome trip. Ive been down the pigeon before but Benji made it a new experience.
