This was my fist time rafting and it was so fun! The people on our raft were so fun and our guide, Juno, was great! I highly recommend.

Our guide Tye successfully guided us down the flooded Pigeon River without tipping. My 9 year old had an absolute blast. I've personally taken the trip several times prior and it was everything I remembered when I got to take my husband and oldest son.

The entire experience was amazing and full of thrill. The guides were super knowledgeable and gave clear safety instructions for the rafting. It was the first time for my mother and she too had a great time despite of her fear of water. I really liked how each set of rapids were given funny names and yet they were so relatable with the actual experience. Would definitely recommend them as the best rafting operators in Pigeon Forge.
