There are a lot of companies you can choose for rafting on the Gauley river and New River. I have used a couple, and this time tried, on the advice of a friend, West Virginia Adventures. Which one you should use depends on what you want. Some companies offer a lot of extras - "fancy" restaurants (may or may not be to your liking), bars, meal plans, a wide variety of lodging, lots of logos on your gear, other things like rope courses and zip lines, and large meals on the river. I won't say those things are bad, but they add to the price. If you don't feel like paying for that stuff, but want a very well guided and exciting rafting trip on the Gauley or the New river, then West Virginia Adventures is a really good option for you. Their gear is good, the guiding is very good, the trip will be fun, and the cost will be less than the more "fancy" places. It's really a question of what you want. If what you want is mostly rafting, then this is a place you should certainly consider at the top of your list. If you want a bunch of other stuff, too, you might look at some other places. For the rafting, this is a great place to go.
