Best whitewater rafting! - This was my second time going rafting through this company and I absolutely loved it both times! They run it very well and their guides are awesome! We had Sam and he was hilarious, plus he gave us some insight on the Harford/Smoky Mountain area. I highly recommend going whitewater rafting here!

First time river rafting - Jessica, the person who assisted our large group of 9 was pleasant and so accommodating on our first rafting experience, helping to book the Upper Piegon River experience. She secured a boat so the 9 of us could be together to make this memorable. Our guide, A.J. was a huge part of why each of us (ages ranging from 20-83) had a blast! He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and patient with us (and other boats) that were on the river! Definitely worth doing!

Great Fun - We booked an Upper trip for our family of 5, with our youngest being 8. Our guide Nick was great at including our family and the other two guests in his conversations and kept everyone entertained, educated, and safe. Our two teenagers were at the front of the raft, followed by my husband and me, then the other two people, and our 8-year old was next to Nick in the back. I was a bit worried about having her in the back where I couldn’t see her, but every time I turned around to check on her, she was all smiles and every time we had any white water, Nick had his arm ready to catch her if needed. The trip felt like it was only 30 min but in reality it is as advertised. Check in was efficient, the little store had water shoes, sun shirts, tank tops, T shirts for sale, and the pictures were reasonably priced. This was the perfect rafting trip for our youngest’s first whitewater rafting experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Fun for family of 5 - This was a fun experience for our family of five. This was our very first rafting trip and it did not disappoint. A few of our group were nervous, but our guide Eli was very informative. We would definitely do this again

Great company to work with - Our guide was incredible and the company was great to work with. They prioritized safety and I would recommend this company for sure. But, I was disappointed in the "rafting" itself. It was nice and peaceful ride when we were looking for more of an adventure. The river is also right next to the road so although you can't see the cars, they are loud enough to destroy the nature sounds unfortunately.
