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.

My 14-year-old son and I had an absolute blast! Jake was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, experienced, and focused on keeping everyone safe while making the trip fun. The entire team was friendly and professional. We had an excellent experience and would 100% recommend them!
Great guides! It is not for everyone, but amazing adrenaline rush! One sister was very nervous and the guide put her in a great position and really calmed her fears. Afterwards, she was so glad she went! Bring good river shoes and a change of clothes to ride home in comfort. They do have showers and changing rooms!
Such an incredible experience! We had so much fun and would definitely do again. We had the guide Dan and he was the absolute best! Would highly recommend booking here.
Excellent equipment and guides, wonderful time and memories with my son! I will be recommending them to my friends and family, thank you!
Very fun, you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy this activity. The guide was very knowledgeable about the river and the bus ride was so delightful with a joke a minute.
It was excellent. The crew was very safe and knowledgeable about the river. It's also and easy drive from Nashville.
Our guide Chad made our inaugural white water rafting trip a safe yet thrilling one. Truly one for the books!
Wonderful experience. Always felt safe and never had concerns. Sydney is amazing and so are all the others there.
Great trip!! Highly recommend!
Had a blast. Fast rapids, great guide. A lot of fun. Just do it. Thx Chad
Cherokee Rafting was a blast! Claire was an awesome guide—fun, knowledgeable, and unforgettable! We’ll be back!
This is a great experience! The guide was fun and kept us safe. We had a great crew in the boat with the other fmsily we had. The tour went out with 5 rafts so we had some help along the way if needed but we weren’t crowded in the water. Already rebooking for next summer with my adult kids as well!
Great adrenaline rush for the family! Our guide Darya was amazing! She was friendly and easy to follow. Had a great time with the kids! Just an FYI, watch out for Mike Tyson! HAHAHA!
Awesome, loved every minute of it! It was the highlight of our trip to the eastern Tennessee area. Highly recommend.

Ready to go back!!!
Heidi was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable on the water! Our family of 5 (2 parents and 3 teens) had an amazing outing.
Today was absolutely one of the most thrilling, exciting days I've ever experienced!
We went on an epic 3-hour whitewater rafting adventure on the Ocoee River, and let me tell you…what an adrenaline rush it was!
I am still pumped 🤣
Ryan our river guide was awesome. Whitewater river rafting is great fun an awesome adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a thrill ride!!!
I wanted to do something fun and different with my kids and we chose this. So much fun!!! And Clara was awesome!!! We loved her! We can’t wait to go back and do the 5 hour. Everyone was amazing and friendly and super outgoing! Loved it!
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!
We had Max as our tour guide and I feel that made our experience 10X better. We had a ton of fun and I Recommended 100%. Definitely hope to do it again soon!!!

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.
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!
We had the best time with our guide Thomas. He was so much fun and had a great up-beat personality. Ocoee River Whitewater Rafting helped create wonderful memories.
Max was a great guide and we had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend him and we will be back again.
Thank you so much
