100% the best guides on the river. We came down from jersey to tour the tn rivers. Started our trip with Bobbie C and what a time we had! If I could give it 10 stars it still wouldn't be enough!! Thank you for an unforgettable ride on the rapids! Go xtreme to get the smaller faster raft. Worth it!!

Our guide Hudson was great! I fell out as soon as we got going and he saved me fast and didn’t panic.

My husband & I had a blast!! Our guide, Conrad, was awesome to chat with & made our adventure even better! He had us "surfing" the waves 😁 All of the staff members were very helpful & very nice to deal with as well... cashier for check-in, key holder, picture chick, bus driver, & all the guides! We will definitely be going back again!!

Our guide Issac was very chill and awesome. Knowledgeable about the area and the sport and made it feel like a VIP experience. We booked the smaller boat (4 ppl max to a boat) and it ended up being like a private tour. Rapids were fun but not as "Xtreme" as I was expecting. The class 4 sections were pretty short.

Wilson is very experienced, and our group wasn’t but was still able to do it. 10/10, would recommend doing it.

Our Guide, Jamie was amazing! He was knowledgeable and fun and ensured we had a great experience. Everything was well organized, the check in sight was clean and all the staff was friendly. All the equipment was well maintained and we felt safe the whole time.

Our experience was an absolute success! Our fearless river guide, Hunter, created a lifetime memory for our group experience as we made it down the Pigeon River. Our navigation of the eastern Tennessee waterways provided such joy for our boys and the other 6 members of our crew. I personally was thrown overboard with my buddy, Rob, whose shorts are still missing on the river floor. The water was unforgiving as it never did give his shorts back 😂 but thankfully his boxers still remained. 🤣 Hunter, you were patient with our boys and provided a fun experience that we will always cherish for years to come. We will be back!
