À quoi s'attendre
1
Adventures on the Gorge
Meet your rafting trip leader at the departure point. You will listen to a brief orientation and get your gear (personal flotation device, helmet and paddle). Then, you will have a 30-minute ride on a school bus down to the river put-in. Your guide will go over additional instructions once you get in the raft. The trip begins with a few smaller class I-III rapids as you ease into paddling and working as a team. Then, you hit some bigger rapids rated class IV-V. About half way through the trip, your trip will pull over and eat a deli-style lunch on the shore. After lunch, you will continue downstream into the heart of the Gorge. Here you’ll go through several rapids rated class III-V.  Between rapids, there is time for swimming, floating and maybe (based on water levels) jumping off of rocks. The trip ends just past the New River Gorge Bridge.

Aventures dans les gorges
Rencontrez votre accompagnateur de rafting au point de départ. Vous écouterez une brève orientation et récupérerez votre équipement (vêtement de flottaison individuel, casque et pagaie). Ensuite, vous ferez un trajet de 30 minutes en autobus scolaire jusqu'à l'entrée de la rivière. Votre guide passera en revue les instructions supplémentaires une fois que vous serez monté dans le radeau. Le voyage commence par quelques petits rapides de classe I-III pendant que vous vous familiarisez avec la pagaie et le travail en équipe. Ensuite, vous frappez des rapides plus gros classés de classe IV-V. À peu près à mi-chemin du voyage, votre voyage s'arrêtera et mangera un déjeuner de style traiteur sur le rivage. Après le déjeuner, vous continuerez en aval au cœur des gorges. Ici, vous traverserez plusieurs rapides classés de classe III-V. Entre les rapides, il y a du temps pour nager, flotter et peut-être (selon le niveau de l'eau) sauter des rochers. Le voyage se termine juste après le New River Gorge Bridge.

We spent a day river rafting. Family of four, two teenage boys. I saw smiles all through the trip. They loved it. Our guide was engaging and professional. The outfit was outstanding, great customer service, excellent materials and rafts, we stopped and they provided lunch which was awesome. Just a great day.

We went on the 6 hour trip and had a lunch break. Fun crew, beautiful scenery interspersed with moments of sheet, unadulterated terror. The first time I heard the river rumbling and then roaring, my gut definitely clenched. First of all, without a doubt, our guide Ark (yes that's his name) was absolutely exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable, second generation guide (both parents were guides), Ark was a caring, funny yet commanding captain of our raft. I knew that I would have to do exactly what he said. My safety and enrichment of the adventure depended on it. He didn't sugar-coat the dangers either. I learned so much about the area: geology, biology, history. In short: Ark was simply amazing! We went out with 3 other rafts. Between all four guides, they had over 100 years of experience. There were six of us in the raft including a guy named Andrew who had trained as a guide and who knew Ark. So it was like we had two guides! His wife Sidney, a lovely young couple named Jay and Mirinda and my Spousal Unit rounded out the crew. I was the oldest at 70. Big Mike was our bus driver. He did such a great job. The bus rides are kind of scary! This is a VERY physical activity. You obviously have to row but you have to take your raft down some scary stone steps to put it into the river, pull your raft out at lunch time, and take your raft up some stone platforms to the truck that takes the rafts back and you and your crew have to put the raft onto the truck, lifting over your head. Lunch was bread for sandwiches, ham, turkey, cheese slices, potato salad and a dessert. Water and you could add concentrated lemonade. Perfect for a much needed rest. Funniest conversation during lunch break: Husband: "Does that guy know he's walking through poison ivy?" Wife: "Uh, probably not." Me: "City boy!" (I grew up with horses). THINGS TO KNOW: No seat belts.. You will have to paddle. Gloves. I wish I had them. The gift shop sells them. Bring a towel for your car when you get back. I would wear a rash guard shirt at least. Amazon sells them and I bought pants at the gift shop. Water shoes or water sandals. If your shoes are not firmly attached yo uwill most likely lose them. I wish I'd worn my merino wool socks. Not because my feet were cold. You might get bruised especially around your ankles where you brace yourself. Get a strap for your sunglasses so you don't lose them. The gift shop sells them. You will get soaked. Duh!

This was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. We did the 1/2 day lower new river. Eric was extremely kind and accommodating and our guide Braiden was knowledgeable and was fantastic at helping us navigate the river. From start to finish we had a great time. I can’t recommend adventures on the gorge enough. If you have options to book adventures on the gorge is the way to go. The bus ride back and hanging with the guides was awesome while we were laughing and talking about our experience with our raft mates.
