We went on this trip for our anniversary and it was so fun! Our guide Robert was perfect and full of energy, we had a blast with him. All of the staff was friendly and welcoming, would definitely recommend for anyone in the area looking to white water raft.

Great trip! While the water was down, our guide still did a great job navigating us through the river. I would definitely recommend them for future trips!

We had the most amazing time white water rafting with the Rafting in the Smokies group! Their team was very accommodating, friendly & helpful. Everyone was super professional. They made the check-in super easy. After getting outfitted in gear, we met our guide, Terrel. He is the best rafting guide - very knowledgeable and helpful. He made our rafting trip the best experience for me and my 2 sons. The weather and water was incredible! We had smiles on our faces the entire time. We loved having Terrel as our guide and all the super nice folks that helped us getting checked in. We appreciate your patience and hospitality. This white water rafting trip was the best part of our trip - hands down. Thank you again! We loved it!

We had a great time. Katie was our guide. I have a hearing problem and I had to leave my aid and cochlear behind and she was very considerate. We found the whole experience great! Had our 9 & 12 year old granddaughters with us. Nervous as was their first time. They loved it!

We, family of three, rode with a family of four so two couples and three kids aged 13, 12 & 10. Our guide, Laelee, was great and ensured we all felt safe. We navigated class III and IV rapids and there was also an opportunity for a quick dip in the river. We loved it!!

Really enjoyed the experience - wish we had done the upper river, but it was a good first time experience for our boys and helped build their confidence. Would definitely use this company in the future.

Our white water rafting experience didn't go as planned. About 15 minutes in I had a panic attack, I have never had one before. Chad went above and beyond to get me to safety, and I will forever be grateful for him. It was a situation that could have ended badly but Chad had complete control. Although I didn't have the experience that I had hoped for my cousins continued on and loved every second of it!!! Thanks a million to our guide Chad!
