We had a great time on the Pigeon River with Big Creek Expeditions on our family vacation! Our guide Benji was excellent! He made sure that each of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience. He made my 9 year old daughter feel safe and treated her like a princess. Those of us in the group that were a little apprehensive were reassured by his confidence. He expertly guided us through class III and Class IV Rapids. His knowledge about the flora and fauna of the area added to our experience but his sense of humor and larger than life personality really made the trip. I can say that I am very happy that we were with as capable a guide as Benji when I was violently ejected from the raft during a particularly challenging Class IV rapid. Everyone in the raft remained calm and I was back in the raft just in time for our next challenge. We were blessed that mother nature offered us some of the best possible conditions with consistent rain leading up to our trip. We experienced some BIG water and made some memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Benji and Big Creek Expeditions!

From the get-go Big Creek Expeditions is a first class operation. Reservations, facilities, expert guides, great water (make sure to ask if it is a "release" day when you plan to go - Class III and IV rapids), wonderful photo CD of your trip available, and even decent bus transport combined with excellent pre-trip instruction makes this adventure one worth experiencing. We had a terrific time on this scenic river. We will definitely go again! Not all outfitters are equal. If you want to go on the Pigeon River, this is the way to do it, first class! The put-in location is adjacent to I-40 so others not going on your trip can follow the bus and at least watch you put in and take on some immediate rapids and snap a photo or two of your adventure. Do order their photo CD. (Tip: Sit on the left side of the raft or in the front for best photo ops) Camping facilities and food are available. You can't beat it!

We had our first white water experience at Big Creek. The guide did a nice job of explaining safety issues and protocol for the rafters while incorporating humor to keep the mood fun. This was my first rafting experience, and I was a little hesitant. However, I felt at ease once I met my raft guide, Elton. He was knowledgeable and skillful on the river as he lead the group through class III and class IV rapids. At one point, another raft behind us tipped. All of the Big Creek guides came together to help the swimmers get back to their raft. The "rescue effort" was efficiently done, and the guides were professional. Apparently, they drill for these types of events, and it was like watching a well-oiled machine. I was very impressed! We rafted the upper Pigeon, and I believe this was a good choice for us. If you're looking for a peaceful, non-eventful float trip, pick the lower Pigeon. My adventurous group wanted to get the adrenaline pumping, but we didn't feel like we were ready for class V rapids just yet. This was perfect for us! If you're a bit hesitant like I was, relax! You are in good hands. I would definitely pick Elton to raft with again. He evaluated the skill of my group (we had all adults in our raft) and gave us a great experience. He even asked it we wanted the next rapid "easy" or "rough". His skill on the river is what made the trip, and I really appreciated the fact that he wanted to give the customer a great rafting experience.
