5.00We had an excellent time on our rafting trip. Our guide, Brett, made our trip even better with his funny personality and jokes. We would love to go back and do another rafting trip with Brett!

5.00Came here during our stay in TN, had an absolutely amazing time! We purchased a 2 trip package. As first time rafters wanted the full experience. The morning trip was an easy raft experience we had Vaughn as our guide, he pointed out lots of facts about the river and area. Had a great time. Came back & had lunch, the Cuban Quesadillas were very tasty! Second raft trip of the day was with Ian as our guide, this was the xtreme adventure. It was definitely a trip to remember! Really got the heart pumping! Both guides were great and very much added to the experience. Can’t recommend this company enough!
Thrilling & Exciting!

5.00Emma was our guide and did a wonderful job! She was even working on her birthday! She was fun and had a great personality! We also met the manager, Larry, who took us on our first rafting adventure in Colorado over 20 years ago! Our boys still talk about it!
Awesome soaking

5.00Did the extreme with Bate and I've drafted the Gauley in West Virginia a couple times and we've done this river a few times but never had as much fun as we did with River Rats!
Great Adventure
