Our guide Johnny B was amazing. We had a group of 8 with two kids 11 and 8 he made the trip awesome. They were on time and the shuttle was super short ride. We also appreciated their COVID procedures and awareness and looking out for our safety. I called several rafting companies this is the only one that had recommendations for masks on the shuttle. Thanks great trip.

This rafting trip was a very first for me and my family. Jedi Mike was an excellent guide. We were comfortable going down the river. Mike was very experienced and very informative about rafting and the rivers history it’s self. We ALL had an AMAZING experience, one that will not be forgotten. If we get to vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains, again, we will definitely be going back for another adventure. Thank you Mike for taking such good care of our family. The Fields Family, WV

This was our first time white water rafting. Our guide Huey was so laid back and had a great sense of humor. Decided we were all in, chose the upper river and sat in the front of the raft. You will experience different levels of rapids from beginning to end. It certainly gave us the thrills and excitement we were looking for! Highly recommend!
