Unless you have small children. It is a great experience for all. My husband is not a fan of water but he loves it just as much as I do! There are a few areas where you can get out of the raft for a swim. We always take a rafting trip when we visit Tennessee.

What a great time had by the family.I have always wanted to do this and it was an absolute blast. With over 3 hours on the water in different classes of waters and rapids and a very knowledgeable captain it was an unforgettable experience. Even had time to float with the raft on the Pigeon River

Great Guide, great trip, office staff was wonderful until we came home and our picture disc which we paid 30 for was blank. Called at least six times, each time was promised a new disc, which never came. Went through the Better Business Bureau in TN. still no response not even to them! Finally filed a claim with my bank... More

To be fair, we did enjoy our trip and our guide was great but the end of the trip is what put a really bad taste in my mouth for this company. They work with local photographers that take you picture as you start your trip. This being our honeymoon, we decided to buy the pictures for, even though there... More

We have been whitewater rafting in Jackson Hole and this one beat it by a thousand miles! Our guide, Ricky, was so fun and we enjoyed it so much. The III and IV rapids were exciting, escpecially when we "surfed". Thanks Ricky for a great time! Also, it was about a third of the price we paid in Jackson Hole.

They all go to the same location, so it's not like anybodies rapids are better than others, the experience that makes the difference is all in the... More

This is a mom and pop operation, and they really take care of their customers. Couldn't be friendlier staff, and always concerned with our safety. In fact, we were not allowed to jump off of some rock formations as other companies were allowed due to the possibility of injury. We had a coupon from one of the online places which... More

We came with a group of 20 (ages 7+) from Chicago and couldn't have had more fun! The guides were great. Cheers to Kelly, David, Kyle & Rabbit for a great trip down the river - we had a blast!!!! -The Glynn's
