I had the most incredible time during my first white water river rafting adventure with White Water Adventures, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. The trip was truly awesome, and our guide, Heather, impressed us with her extensive knowledge and experience. She expertly managed our group of amateurs, making sure we were well-informed about the rafting process and even shared interesting facts about the river and the history of rafting in the Lower Yough. It was an unforgettable experience that I'd love to do again!!

Everything about this trip was amazing! I took my husband and my 18 year old son. My husband is the definition of a city boy, he’s never done ANYTHING like this and we all had so much fun! The guides were what really makes the trip though- Shout out to Garrett and Rebecca! They pointed out the Lough-ness monster to my husband 🤣 Garrett’s rock run and hilarious jump back in the boat was EPIC. The views were incredible. We will absolutely be back again!

The whole team was great friendly and caring and a lot of fun! I went on my own but they did not make me feel like I was. They don't rush you they make sure you are safe and understand the rules and the way of the water. The next time I go I will take my grandkids! I had a great time Thank You!

We went for Father's Day because my father-in-law wanted to try whitewater rafting. We had a large group spanning three generations, and for most of us it was our first time rafting. We absolutely loved it! The staff was fantastic. They were very friendly, personable, and funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. They helped everyone feel comfortable and ensured we had a great time. We have English and Spanish speaking family members. Some of the staff spoke enough Spanish to communicate with everyone. Great time! I would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re honored that you chose to spend Father’s Day with us and are thrilled to hear that three generations of your family were able to enjoy the experience together. It’s especially rewarding to hear that your father-in-law’s first whitewater rafting trip was such a success!
We’re glad our team helped make everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and we’re happy that our bilingual staff members were able to assist your English- and Spanish-speaking family members. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation.
We appreciate you choosing White Water Adventurers and hope to see your family back on the river again soon!

Whitewater rafting is so much fun! This was only my second time. My first time was The new river in West Virginia, which set the bar very high! The lower yough river was also impressive. They said that with all the rain they recently got it made it for a better experience. Leo was our guide and he was very familiar with the river. I would definitely want him for our guide again.

Great time! Our guide/DJ Matt was our man! He kept us in the boat with perfect directions to have fun on the water instead of in it. Take your teens on this trip for the perfect screen free outing.
