The best part about my experience was Huey (my tour guide). He told some good jokes and he kept us in the boat. He made sure we were comfortable at all times.

Shane C. was a fabulous guide! He told us jokes, stories, and history along the whole river route! There are so many tour operators, about 12, in this area, and I am so glad I chose Big Creek. What a professional and FUN business to support! By the way, they had a GREAT shop with lots of fun gear!

Johnny B was a great guide! We had young children that were very scared and by the end they wanted to do it again! He even got one of them to jump in with him! Awesome experience!!
