5.0Smoky Mountain Outdoors Rafting(5.897 reviews) - A Wet and Wild Adventure Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing
What a blast!! I’d been whitewater rafting before but my husband and two kids hadn’t. My 13 year old daughter was very nervous, I’m sure the other rafters heard her screams but she wants to try it again she had such a good time!! My 16 year old son wants to work for the company. He is hooked!! The bus ride made me nervous because it was filled but we wore masks and eyeglasses, used hand sanitizer, and then everyone got on their own rafts so that was fine. I did convince my son and daughter to jump into the river with me, but my hubby stayed in the raft. Hitting the rapids was awesome! We felt very safe with the guides. If your zip lining too definitely book online...SMO partners with CLIMBWORKS and you can get an additional discount. See more..

5.0River Rat Whitewater Rafting(2.906 reviews) - If you're thinking of white water rafting PICK RIVER RATS!!!! Friday: River Rafting & Tubing • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours
I can't say enough about this experience. The crew was so fun and exciting. They all had different fun outfits on and really seemed to love what they do. There was never a dull moment, even on the bus ride up the river they were telling stories and joking and laughing. We chose the extreme raft and were lucky enough to get the coolest, funniest and most knowledgeable guide on the river, Ewok! He took us down runs that none of the other rafts were going down and did a bunch of different moves and tricks with us. He was so personable and friendly. I was really nervous about rafting for the first time and he made me feel super comfortable. Wouldn't have changed anything about it.See more..
5.0Raft Outdoor Adventures(1.983 reviews) - Best Rafting Company and Guide! Friday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing
Outstanding experience! Our family of 4 went on the double run trips on June 2 and had the good fortune of having Nic as our guide for both runs! Nic is very experienced as he’s been a guide for 6 years and rafts for fun when not at work! Safety was the first priority and fun was next on the list. He had control of the raft throughout the trips and was able to steer us right into best parts of the rapids. He turned us at different points for equal splashing opportunities!! Each employee we came into contact with was nice. They keep all the rafts on each trip in a safe proximity in case a boat is in need. The bathroom and changing facilities were the nicest for any similar type outdoor experience business we’ve ever seen and we’ve been to 49 US states so that’s a huge compliment. They have a photographer situated at a rapid and we bought the 15 digital pictures and they were great. I highly recommend this specific rafting company!!See more..

What an excellent experience. Our family visited for spring break and booked our whitewater rafting excursion. We did not know what to expect but when we arrived everyone was super friendly and extremely helpful. We met our guide (Dan aka Danaconda) who was engaging, knowledgeable and funny. He was especially engaging with our 14 and 9 year old children. Such a great time! Thank you, Dan and the rest of the Team at Rip Roaring Adventures!See more..
5.0Big Creek Expeditions(1.030 reviews) - A terrific ride! Friday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing • Sightseeing Tours
This was our second trip with Big Creek Creek Expeditions. We took our grandkids two years ago and they had such a great time, that we rode again this past August. The staff and guides are so helpful and friendly. Last time we had Shane as a guide, and he was terrific at talking to our grandson who was a bit terrified as it was his first experience. Eat the first rapid, he was hooked. So this past August when we went, we requested Shane, but he was not available, so we had Jedi Mike as our guide. He was funny and reassuring. It was a terrific ride, and we are all looking forward to more experiences. Thank you Big Creek staff and guides for making this a memorable experience.See more..

5.0Big Bear Rafting(715 reviews) - Tip: Get splashed! Closed now - 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing
First time rafting and it was a blast! Joseph was an excellent guide who made the white water rafting experience on Upper Pigeon a whole lot more fun with tricks to get splashed! In terms of safety, his guidance helped us avoid all kinds of rocks and nobody went unintentionally overboard, lol. Their last run at 4:45PM-6:45PM was a perfect time of the day for us and the price per person is very affordable. Highly recommend to go with a group of 6 you know for an adventurous memory. Customer service was also super friendly--totally recommend their business for your experience.See more..
My 10 year old son and I went on the Lower Pigeon River family float with Lisa as our guide. It was the first time for both of us. We really wanted to experience rafting in the Smoky Mountains--it seems like the thing to do while you are in the area. Lisa was fantastic! She foreshadowed each section of the river so we knew what was coming up, which sections would be a little rougher, if we might have a little bump due to a rock, when to paddle, where it was going to be a calm section to jump out and swim if you wanted to, etc. I loved that they took our picture on the river so we could purchase it at the end. Lisa was friendly and easy to talk to throughout our visit. She offered lots of encouragement and praise to both my son and I. I would highly recommend Rapid Expeditions!See more..
5.05 Rivers Adventures(231 reviews) - This is the trip you want to do! Ask for Ricky Bobby! Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM River Rafting & Tubing
If I could leave 10 stars I would! First time white water rafting and Ricky Bobby our guide made us feel so comfortable with his knowledge/skills. He's been on the river for over 20 years! He was cracking jokes the whole time to try and break the ice with any nerves. If you're even considering going to another company, don't!!! This is the white water rafting you want to do! They were amazing!! Ricky also gave us free moonshine tasting cards after the trip. All around great experience! We will be back!See more..
We were on a couples trip and decided to go white water rafting for the first time. This was a great experience and thrilling activity. Mack was our guide and we all thought he was the best, with a lot of personality, jokes, great stories, and historical and river information that kept the trip interesting. The sign up process is easy, and you can fill out all forms prior to arriving, saving time. They give you all the equipment needed, and offer comprehensive safety training. We all felt confident after this training. The lower Pigeon river offers a great mix of floating, large and smaller rapids, and a beautiful scene for the trip. We were able to jump out at one point for a quick swim which was invigorating. We cannot wait to go again, and we would absolutely use NOC again. Great experience and a highlight of a wonderful couples trip.See more..
