Great guides, it was my first time (55 yrs old) and my teenage son's first time. Lots of fun, getting wet, smiles, did I mention WATER! The guides were attentive to their groups and very good at what they do!

We had a blast! My son and I went for our birthday trip. We were a bit nervous but our guide, Drew, made us feel super comfortable. Overall, the crew were very experienced but also all lighthearted and made a lot of jokes. Which my son loved. We went down the middle river of the Ocoee. The rapids were just right for a beginners - big enough to be exciting but not overwhelming. It truly was a blast! As my sons says, it was like the theme park of the Wild.
Oh and the view! The MOST breathtaking views as you raft down. 10/10 Cant wait to do it again!

Thank you for celebrating your birthdays with us! We're honored you chose Adventures Unlimited for such a special trip. It's great to hear Drew helped calm those first-time nerves and made the experience fun for both you and your son. We love your son's description of rafting as "the theme park of the wild"—that's fantastic! We're so glad you enjoyed the Middle Ocoee, the breathtaking scenery, and the perfect mix of excitement and adventure. We truly appreciate the 10/10 recommendation and can't wait to celebrate with you again on your next trip down the river! 🎉🌊🚣
We came all the way from Florida (386!) and this was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had.
My husband and I absolutely loved our white water rafting trip! Joe was insightful, informative, kind, and made the entire adventure so much fun.
We got completely soaked and loved every second of it! He made us feel safe while still keeping the experience exciting.
We would do it again 1,000 times over and will definitely be back. Thank you for helping make our Tennessee trip unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for making the trip from Florida to raft with us! We're thrilled to hear your Tennessee adventure was one for the books. Getting completely soaked is all part of the fun, and we're glad you loved every second of it!
Joe will be excited to hear your kind words. He does a fantastic job balancing safety, fun, and sharing his knowledge of the river, and we're lucky to have him on our team.
Thank you for choosing Adventures Unlimited and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We can't wait to welcome you back for round two (or round 1,000)! Safe travels until then!
The water rafting was suburb and guide wonderful. Daniel Smith but aviator did not notify the company of our date change and they were completely full and did not think they could accommodate us. After an 1-1/2 drive and last day to raft, I was thankful they were able to figure something in to get us on. But I would have been very pissed off at Viator for not notifying the company of the change. I would highly recommend Adventures Unlimited but not Viator

We think Daniel is pretty awesome too. Sorry Viator didn't take good care of you but glad we were able to get you on the water for a great day!!
Josh Lemon steered us to a great trip. A perfect 10! Ask for him before scheduling. Plan to book again in the future.
Jimmy was amazing. All the guides seemed to really want us to have the best day of our lives. It was fairly cold outside (around 68), worse when you get wet. Would recommend going when its hot outside only. Bring towels on the bus with you!
Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Loved our guide Frankie!! 10/10! Highly recommend! You’re sure to get wet and have a great time!
We had a great exciting time..definitely want do this again am our guide Dakota was awesome an fun an very patient 😀

Thank you for joining AU for your first time down the Ocoee! We're so glad you spent the day with us. What a great review! We look forward to your next visit.
This was a seriously fun couple activity. Josh Lemon was our tour guide and he is the absolute man. I took my girlfriend on the 3 hour middle ocoee rafting tour. It was her first time ever rafting and she had a blast. Class 3 and 4 seemed scary to her initially but she said after that she would’ve been disappointed had we done an easier one. Our tour guide, Josh, gave us optional routes through the rapids and gave us the difficulty run-down before we did it to make sure we were all comfortable before attempting stuff. We ended up doing all the craziest and harder routes and it was so much fun. We felt really lucky to have him as a guide. If you’re going for the first time (or just don’t know who to request) I would request Josh. It made the whole trip.
