We had a great time and felt very safe with 3 - 9-year-olds. Alyssa was awesome. For first-timers we were a bit worried and the staff made us feel very safe at all stages. The kids absolutely loved it ... well the adults, too! We would do a longer trip now that we know. Very nice facilities, shop, staff, and all. Very pleased. There are several companies next door to one another. I felt like we picked the right one for us.

One of my bucket list items was to white water raft. Our trip to the Smoky Mountains seemed like perfect time. This was far from a tourist trap but a great way to experience nature while having so much fun. Our tour guide Jonny D. was awesome. He made us feel like river pros even though we know he had to correct for our multiple errors. We even had an opportunity to get out of the raft for a swim. You will not regret this trip. From the helpfulness of the ladies at the counter, the facilities, and the overall fun make a stop here and ask for Jonny!
