The best and most fun part of rafting was when we went “surfing”! JP really made our trip so much better especially because he was nice enough to let my friends and I go “surfing” twice! He has the best jokes and made those of us that were nervous feel better because of his experience with rafting. Highly recommend booking a rafting session and know you’re in good hands if you get JP as your guide!

We are from Illinois but came down to Sevierville, TN for the weekend and found this place. We had an absolute BLAST while we went white water rafting for the first time ever. It was so worth it, and the price for tickets wasn’t bad at all. This place is in the perfect location, all staff members are very kind and friendly, and we will never forget the fun we had our on the water! Johnny B is the best tour guide. Hands down. He had us laughing the whole time, knows so much about the area and kept us entertained the whole time. If we ever go back to this area in Tennessee we will definitely do this again! And we will definitely be asking for Johnny B :)
