One favorite excursion - This was our favorite thing during our trip to the smokies! My husband and I have rafted 5 times and this took one of the top spots. We had fun, trill, and beautiful sites all the way down the river. We appreciate our guide, Danny, and all that he added as a bonus for our trip. We would 100% do this again.

Great rafting adventure ! - Great rafting adventure! The guides were knowledgeable and engaging. The only thing that could make it better would be to have even more time on the river.

Best Family Adventure Activity - Best activity on our vacation to the Smoky Mountains! We had a 9-year-old, 2 teenagers, and 4 adults with Sabrina as our guide. We all had so much fun. It was the perfect intensity level. We did lose a couple of the grown adults out of the raft during the rapids but Sabrina got them back in quickly. And the scenery was beautiful too!

Rafting and zip line with kids - We brought our 3 kids to Rafting the Smokies today. Ages 16, 10, and 8. All enjoyed both sections of the river and the zip line. We had Mac and Jay-1 take us through the zipline and do a GREAT job with our kids. Lots of fun. We then rafted the upper river with Elias who had a great fun energy but was also knowledgeable and made us feel safe. Perfect entry rapids for our little kids: just scary enough. Then we rode the lower river with Aaron who also took great care of us and we enjoyed chatting with on the much slower portion of river. Great service all around except the food truck lady where the lunches came from was really odd and unfriendly. Fun day!

White water adventure in the Smokies - Our river guide Heather was an expert, provided clear instructions, and made our first white water experience a blast. The instructions on the ride to the water were informative and hilarious. The restrooms and changing rooms were clean and easily accessible. Access from the interstate and parking was a breeze. Ask for Heather!!
