We had a great time! Some good adrenaline rush but not too much for us beginners. The guides are good at tailoring the experience depending on the group. Our guide Aaron was very personable and experienced - he explained everything as it was coming with great detail! We would do this again and definitely recommend.

Today was absolutely one of the most thrilling, exciting days I've ever experienced!

I am still pumped 🤣

Sydney was an expert guide and kept us safely in the raft and hitting all the fun rapids. Other rafts flipped that day so it happens….but we rowed and did what she said and had the best time. Highly recommend for a refreshing and fun experience.

We had a blast from start to finish. The check in staff was so sweet and helpful. There were games to keep us busy while we waited to leave. They added in humor to the instruction before we left. Our raft guide, Will, gave helpful training before we went on our raft trip and gave interesting facts about what was around us. He made the trip fun and added in humor the whole way, always checking to make sure we were okay and having fun. When we got back on the bus to go back, all the guides were still trying to make it fun. They told us what to do and expect when we got back with our gear. The whole thing was just well done from start to finish. We would most definitely recommend to anyone and go again!

We had an amazing time with our boys (15 and 12). The rafting was exhilarating and serene at the same time. The scenery was beautiful! We would highly recommend our guide Mike. He knew his stuff!! #GiveMe2ForwardGo!

Just got back from the most incredible day on the Ocoee River with @CherokeeRafting. From the moment we arrived, the energy was amazing. Our guide Jake, total pro. Made us feel safe, kept the vibes high, and had us laughing the entire way.
We got drenched, we screamed through rapids, and we made great memories. 10/10 recommend if you’re anywhere near the Ocoee. Book the trip. Thank me later.

This trip was a trip I will never forget. If you go I would recommend hunter as a guide! He took his time to accommodate to my needs since Im partially handicap. We are already trying to book our next tour for the 10 mile rapids! Cant wait to come back! Thank you for an amazing experience!

The rapids were great. Guide Josh was masterfull. Cherokee Whitewater is a great company. I wholly recommend this tour.
Jessica_H, Aug 2024
My family had an amazing time white water rafting. It was a first for my boys (18 & 19). Sydney was a wonderful guide. She was in control so we felt safe and she was fun. We laughed, she created fun experiences for us and she taught us about the area. The ride to the launch was full of laughter. The team work really well with each other. Before heading out on the bus we hung out at their post playing corn hole and basketball while listening to fun dance music. Of course we all left with souvenirs because we wanted a momento of our time. The rafting photos were amazing! I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun day!

It was a 3 hour long experience, we were on the river for about 1.5-2 hours. The staff was chill and very accommodating. Mike our guide was very cool.
LeiaNichole_B, Jul 2024
Jake our guide was the best part of the trip! He was amazing and explained each rapid we went through. He made this trip so fun!
Dana_K, Jul 2024
I had such a great time, Sydney was super helpful and amazing person.
I gave 3 stars because they scammed me, i paid for the photos 32$ and they didn’t send it.
Charlie_B, Jul 2024
We had a great time!! All the staff was friendly and the guides had great personalities. Even the bus ride to and from the river was a good time. Noah was our guide and he made sure that everyone in the raft was having a good time. He was telling us about the rapids, telling jokes, and pointing out things along the River. There are other rafting companies in the area, but this one will be hard to beat.
Susan_M, Jul 2024
Emma, our guide, was the bomb. And I mean that in the way her jokes landed. ❤️❤️❤️ We are seasoned citizens at 75 and 76 and had the time of our lives. Have been rafting before a couple of times but this river and her rapids were the best. Thank you Emma for taking my place in the steep walk to the launch. These legs take it a little slower. AND we didn’t fall out. Major goal accomplished! Ed and Susan.

Our guide Claire was very knowledgeable and kept us safe whilst also making sure we had tons of fun!

It was a really good experience. We rode with Aaron and Ben and they made the whole river excursion so much fun. The whole process was easy to maneuver and safety was their priority. 10/10 recommend.
Tracey_S, Jul 2024
What an amazing experience on the Middle Ocoee! Can’t wait to come back and do the Upper/Middle full day trip. Mike was such a great guide. He made us all feel really comfortable while giving us some great insight for all the rapids. So much fun!!!
