Great trip for experienced and new rafters! - This was absolutely awesome! I’ve done white water rafting before but this was the first time for my wife and kids (14 and 12) and we all had a blast. Connor was a great guide and the whole tour group were very pleasant. Highly recommend it!

SUPER FUN AND GREAT GUIDES!! - Our guide Jose was THE BEST!!! We had a fantastic guide named Jose. Jose was extremely helpful and kind! He made sure we were all having fun and enjoying the trip. He was knowledgeable about the area and answered all our questions. When we fell out, he ensured we all stuck together and helped us out safely and quickly. He took the time to get to know us better as a team, asking us questions about ourselves. He was an awesome guide, and if you get him, you are very lucky! He made everyone laugh and ensured we had a great time! I thank him for making my first rafting experience very fun! ———- Me and my three friends went rafting for the first time at Ocoee Rafting in TN, and we had an amazing experience! Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by welcoming employees and instructors. Everyone was patient, answered all our questions, and had a great sense of humor. They ensured we were secure with our gear and showed us how to properly put it on. Everything was well-organized, from how you get the gear to how you wear it. They prioritize safety while also making you feel comfortable. We really enjoyed it! The river itself looks scary, but I promise you, once you’re on it, you forget about the nervousness. There are some rough spots that give you an adrenaline rush, wondering if you’ll fall or not, and soft, cool parts where you can just enjoy the surroundings before the next big rapid. Overall, our first rafting experience was great! We enjoyed our trip on the water and honestly, we were disappointed that we didn’t take the full river! It was a wonderful experience, and we genuinely cannot wait to come back. For beginners trying rafting for the first time, this is perfect! We definitely hope you get Jose as your guide—he was fantastic!

Love Quest Expedition - We love Quest Expeditions!! This is our second year rafting with them and we loved both of our experiences with them. Our guide, Addison had an awesome personality, and entertained our family with stories throughout the expedition. Addison was so knowledgeable and knew what she was doing. I felt very comfortable with her! Thinking next year we may do the full day expedition as Addison talked us into it! We highly recommend Quest Expeditions and can’t wait to return!

Great raft trip on the Ocoee - Very fun trip and knowledgeable, friendly, fun staff. The gift shop, Cafe, and showers were all very clean and nice. I was most impressed with the way the entire group (in our case, 8 rafts) looked out for each other - always stationing one raft downstream of the "danger zones" in case anyone tipped or went overboard. We got great pictures too. I would highly recommend.

Great trip! - 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.
