This was a wonderful experience. Jared was an excellent guide. I would highly recommend this! Jared was very knowledgeable about the area and guided us through the waters. We will definitely be doing this again. We will be booking the full day trip and requesting Jared as our guide!

Everyone was organized and the rafting guide made us feel safe at all times. The equipment was well maintained and the transportation to and from the river was pleasant.

First time rafting and we had a great experience! Tristan, our guide, made the trip fun while still ensuring we were safe throughout our time on the river. Would highly recommend this company!

Our family had a blast going White Water Rafting with Quest. Our guide, Luke, ensured we had fun and we even "surfed" for a long time on one rapid : ) The company's communication and process was great. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for rafting with us! We’re so glad your family had a blast and that Luke made the trip extra fun; sounds like you nailed that surf! We appreciate your kind words about our communication and process, and we’d love to see you back on the river for more adventures!

We had a wonderful time! Our guides were super fun, especially our boat captain Sara! She made everything extra fun with extra games and jokes and smiles the whole river long. It was the first time rafting for our son and they were able to make it fun for him as well as those of us who have rafted many times before. Quest expeditions in Ocoee is a really nice setup. Everything was very comfortable and inviting. Great choice!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great time, especially on your son’s first rafting adventure! Sara will be so happy to know she helped make the trip extra fun for everyone. We’re glad you felt welcome and comfortable at Quest, and we’d love to have you back for more river fun anytime!

It's a bit of a workout but the thrill is well worth it. Bring clothing that is water resistant if you have it.

We had a great trip with Madison a.k.a. "Tater"!! She was personable, informative, and skilled. As a first time white water rafter I was a little nervous but by the end we were in the front and doing some circles. I would 100% recommend.
Cynthia_L, Aug 2024
Riding the Hiwassee River was such a blast! We had so much fun navigating the rapids and soaking in the beautiful scenery. Lauren, our guide, made the experience even better with her expert navigation and great sense of humor. We couldn't have asked for a more exciting and enjoyable adventure!
RAFTING!!!

Great views, fun rapids and overall great experience. Niki is a wonderful guide. We plan to visit again.
Kathleen_B, Jul 2024
Amazing time. You absolutely get soaked ! I sprung for the $15 water shoes and so glad I did instead of wearing my hiking shoes like I planned. It was raining but we still did the ride and it was so cool. Our tour guide Drew was very composed, strong and capable.
Bruce_R, Jul 2024
Our guide Addison was great! Informative, skilled, and fun!
Equipment and rafts were first class, and the river was beautiful!

The experience was amazing .. the staff were really professional and experienced. Our guide down the river , Clay , was a very cool guy. I would most definitely recommend this trip
Timothy_L, Jul 2024
Our guide, Mya was a gem, very good as the skipper of our boat and very personable. We surfed a couple of reverses, popped a wheelie and rotated through a gentler rapid. No swimmers this time down though a few close calls. Definitely on my list of things to do again.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Glad you enjoyed your trip with Quest and Mya! We look forward to your next visit.
Don_P, Jul 2024
Our guide Addison was amazing. Best trip we’ve done. River was perfect with a lot of class 4 rapids.
Brooke_H, Jun 2024
We had Lily as our guide and she killed it. We had never been white water rafting before and she was the perfect guide to teach is what to do. Our boat had no “swimmers” thanks to Lily. We will come back for sure and try our hand at the full river rafting experience next time. Lily- we hope to have you again. The food at the cafe was super delicious too.
Clean showers and a cute gift shop made the trip even better. We love the pics that your photographer took of us actually rafting too.
QUEST is the best! 10/10 for everything

We booked this adventure for my son and his two buddies while we were visiting Tennessee, and I’m so glad we did - they had a blast and are still talking about it! From the get-go, all of the staff were super friendly and helpful. The boys really liked their guide Eli and the exciting class III and IV rapids! My husband and I really appreciated the friendly gift shop staff and the delicious food at Apricot Place Cafe while we hung out. It was a really good day and I’m so glad we chose Quest Expeditions. We will definitely do it again next time we’re in town!
Carl_M, Sep 2023
True class 4 rapids. Very exciting trip down the river. Quest was a great company to work with. We had an awesome river guide. Very knowledgeable, funny and fun.
RebeccaB_S, Aug 2023
Our guide was a skilled and enthusiastic leader that made us feel both safe and exhilarating at the same time. I loved being slapped in the face by the running rapids. We had so much fun. Thank you so much.

I was the only person on the trip that had been rafting before and it was 10 years ago. Three of the people on our trip did not speak good English. Sara was an awesome guide, she led us down the river and shared a lot of good info. We had a blast and never fell out of the raft once. She gave clear and precise instruction and kept us safe while showing us a good time!

Best experience white water rafting with Quest!Our guy Ben was great!Definitely coming back for more!
KRISTIN_W, Jul 2023
Big John was a hoot from the time he drove into the parking lot and continued to be for the duration of the trip!! He was very good at “coaching” us down the river and keeping us in the boat!! That’s where he says it’s the safest 🙃! Overall a great trip and he makes it fun!

We had a great time with Farmer as our guide. All of the staff that we met were extremely nice and helpful. Facilities are spotless with many showers, changing stalls and bathrooms. It’s hard to find vacations with stuff for teens and this was perfect! It was our kids (15 & 13) first time rafting. Our daughter was extremely nervous before hand but still did it and LOVED it! She said it was the best thing we have done on our trip so far! If we had the time, we would have absolutely gone back to do the 6 hour trip too! If you’re nervous or scared do it anyways, you won’t regret it! Beautiful views, great history along the way and a fun time for sure!
Juan_A, Jun 2023
an excellent experience. Thanks for making us live something exciting. Lily, an excellent guide. thank you
Travis_M, May 2023
Big John took us out on the rapids for an awesome experience! Couldn’t ask for a better guide to take us out!

We were guided by Jared Martin who was very freindly and led us through an amazing adventure. The place was also well stocked so if you're missing anythong, they have it.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you, Jared is awesome! We look forward to seeing you in the future.
Faroukar_H, Sep 2022
it was short and sweet it was not as advance as I wanted the middle is really for kids and first timers. Next time I will start from the top.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
An excellent guide can definitely make a class III/IV whitewater trip seem easy! We look forward to taking you on the Full River trip next time.
Karloz_S, Sep 2022
None. I was late because of an accident on the highway and the company didn't accommodate us. They even want more money to reschedule. Greedy
Response from Host, Sep 2022
I'm sorry we were unable to accommodate you being an hour past check-in. It is impossible to hold a trip up that long and inconvenience all the other folks that arrived on time. We attempted to accommodate you the following day but you said you couldn't make it. The small rescheduling fee was only to cover the cost of the guide that was scheduled and ready to take you down the river for your originally scheduled trip and for the rescheduled trip.
Lynn_H, Aug 2022
We had a great guide and that made the experience wonderful! She kept us safe and there was never a dull moment.
