Our guide Jose was THE BEST!!!
We had a fantastic guide named Jose. Jose was extremely helpful and kind! He made sure we were all having fun and enjoying the trip. He was knowledgeable about the area and answered all our questions. When we fell out, he ensured we all stuck together and helped us out safely and quickly. He took the time to get to know us better as a team, asking us questions about ourselves. He was an awesome guide, and if you get him, you are very lucky! He made everyone laugh and ensured we had a great time! I thank him for making my first rafting experience very fun!

Me and my three friends went rafting for the first time at Ocoee Rafting in TN, and we had an amazing experience! Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by welcoming employees and instructors. Everyone was patient, answered all our questions, and had a great sense of humor. They ensured we were secure with our gear and showed us how to properly put it on. Everything was well-organized, from how you get the gear to how you wear it. They prioritize safety while also making you feel comfortable.
We really enjoyed it! The river itself looks scary, but I promise you, once you’re on it, you forget about the nervousness. There are some rough spots that give you an adrenaline rush, wondering if you’ll fall or not, and soft, cool parts where you can just enjoy the surroundings before the next big rapid.
Overall, our first rafting experience was great! We enjoyed our trip on the water and honestly, we were disappointed that we didn’t take the full river! It was a wonderful experience, and we genuinely cannot wait to come back. For beginners trying rafting for the first time, this is perfect! We definitely hope you get Jose as your guide—he was fantastic!
