This was my 1st time to go water rafting with my daughter, and I had FUN!. Our guide Chelsea was very experienced and knowledgeable on what we should do and when. I would definitely recommend it, especially if it's your 1st time. Experience of a Lifetime! I would do it again and I'm 65 yrs old!!

A Refreshing Bout with Nature!

Irene_N, Jul 2026

The staff were very welcoming from the beginning. We checked in with Sarah, who gave us the run down of what to expect and most importantly the safety presentation. Paul was our guide, who helped us fit our vests and helmets. We took a short bus ride to the starting point and unloaded the rafts. The view was amazing from the start. And then we were off to a great rafting experience. We were all nervous, as being our first time. Paul gave clear instructions and got us through those rapids.. the water was so refreshing. We had such a great time. There was a changing area and showers available. What a great afternoon!

Do it! You won’t regret it!

Definitely a fun experience for both adults and kids. The guides make it fun and are knowledgeable about the area. Great breathtaking views. Highly recommend!! Our favorite thing we did while we were there. Show up 30 Mins early to fill out waivers and wear shoes with backs on them or you will have to purchase some.

Great Experience!

Kaitlyn was a wonderful guide—great conversation and excellent at navigating the rapids. Overall, the trip was really fun... I wish it were a little bit longer... It took about 1 hour in total. A half-hour more would have been perfect. Very well-run and professional company. I highly recommend it.

Great family adventure

So much fun!

My partner and I had a blast rafting down the upper Pigeon River. The crew is comical and friendly and check in was very easy. The bus ride to the the launch site was very quick and getting into the raft and into the river was not as chaotic as expected with all rafting companies launching at the same times. Noah, our guide was very knowledgeable and outgoing. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back! Thanks so much!
