Our family had a fantastic time. Sam was our guide and he was truly a great to be with. He was very knowledgeable about the river and kept my our families safety his top priority. He had a great sense of humor and meshed very well with our family. We will definitely be rafting again with this company and hopefully be able to get Sam as our guide again. 5 out of 5 Stars and will highly recommend to others.

Great trip

Watching my grandkids having fun on their first white water rafting experience was the best part about the trip!!! The rapids were the most fun! Our guide did a great job!!!

Great Trip

Guides were very fun. Equipment was in great shape and was just long enough for a 1/2 ALL IN Excursion. Really fun for Adults and Kids.

Great company to work with

Our guide was incredible and the company was great to work with. They prioritized safety and I would recommend this company for sure. But, I was disappointed in the "rafting" itself. It was nice and peaceful ride when we were looking for more of an adventure. The river is also right next to the road so although you can't see the cars, they are loud enough to destroy the nature sounds unfortunately.

Amazing Time

We had a fabulous time rafting, our guide Kaylen was Amazing. It was our first time and she let us be as adventurous as we wanted! This was our favorite part of our Week long trip to Tennessee.

Wild mile

The last mile stretch was excellent and enjoyed the relaxing float time. Our guide was patient but excited that our crew synchronized our paddling well

Sam as a guide is the way to go!

This was my second time with this company and again I was very impressed. I felt very safe with their friendly (& highly entertaining) guides in charge. The trip down river itself was beautiful, refreshing and a blast!

Amazing Experience!

So, so glad we booked this trip with Outdoor Adventures. Check in process was quick and easy, everyone was SO friendly! Our guide Allison was fantastic. You could tell she really loves what she does and made sure everyone stayed safe and had fun (even though there were some people in the raft who did not follow instructions at all) Cannot praise this trip enough! We can't wait to get back to the area and do it all over again.

First time whitewater rafting and it...

rocky w, Aug 2017
First time whitewater rafting and it was exciting. Was a rainy day, but we were going to get wet anyway. Our guides were friendly and seemed to be very knowing about the river. Wayne seemed to be very skilled in his work and provided some interesting history and facts.I would recommend this outfitter to other rafters. Had fun, you should try a trip downriver.
