Amazing time - Been two times in a row, and both guides, Jon and Strange, were absolutely great! If you’re looking for a great trip, I highly recommend using them. They know what they’re doing, make the experience fun, and take care of their people. Definitely worth the trip!

SWEET JOHN WAS THE BEST GUIDE EVER! - OMG! The best, most exhilarating experience! For first timers, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The intro, was informative and prepared us for the river. Our guide, where do I start...He was the absolute best. I trusted him with our lives. We would definitely book with OAR again!

Wonderful guide - Caleb was a great guide. I convinced my 70 year old dad to go along and Caleb did a great job at ensuring we had a fun trip and keeping everyone safe.

Bucket List - Hugh was AMAZING! The whole experience was just fantastic and I felt safe the entire trip though I was petrified at the beginning. Hugh ensured everyone was trained and understood how to work together. Staff was very friendly and I just had the best time. I absolutely WILL be back with my family and will ask for him as our guide without a doubt.

OAR - Exceptional Guides and Staff - Team Building Opportunities - I have been the lead coordinator for our overnight camping and Middle Ocoee White Water trip for our youth group at Woodmont Christian Church located in Nashville, TN. for 8 years ! We arrive on early Saturday afternoon each year, set up camp, do the low ropes course that helps with our yout team building efforts, cook out then run the Middle Ocoee on Sunday mornings. OAR is an EXCEPTIONAL operator with some of the best guides on the river. I am a white water kayaker so have some knowledge of what it takes to be safe, while at the same time be a good river guide down the Ocoee River (a very technical river to navigate). I would highly recommend OAR.

BE AGGRESSIVE! 😬 - It was a great experience...until it wasn't. The median age of our group of 7 was about 45. Just before the second to last rapid, we were asked if we wanted to finish conservatively or aggressively. We shouted, "BE AGREESSIVE!" I'm not sure if it was intentional for the aggressive ending but the next thing I knew, our raft flipped over and I was underwater! I drifted off to the edge of the river. Everyone in other rafts were yelling to me to swim to the middle but swimming got me nowhere. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at grabbing oars from other rafts, I finally was able to hold on to an oar upon the third attempt and that raft got me safely to my raft ahead. A little more excitement than I wanted but a very nice experience.
