Not a first timer but I did really enjoy the trip and the guide. When I return to the Smokies, I'll also return to SMO for rafting and I'll do a little zip lining too! We did purchase the picture package from our rafting trip and a few things in the shop and from experience, I'd say these folks are... More

I enjoyed the trip as well as my guide, Steph! The white water of the Upper Pigeon was a great surprise and a whole lot more than I expected. I am an experienced river rat who has been on self guided 2 and 3 day long rafting trips and yet even as such, had lots of fun!

Attila was a fantastic guide, we had beautiful weather and a wonderful trip down the river. This was the first time rafting for my boyfriend and my two boys (10 and 7). Attila was the perfect blend of instruction and fun. We plan to come back and do the more challenging upper river trip next year. I highly recommend SMO... More

Our family of seven, including a barely 3 year old, had an amazing time!! It was exciting, fun, refreshing, funny, informative, gorgeous & safe! Our guide, Keith, was so nice, and very knowledgable!! We hope to go again on the upper river with our older girls & Keith as our guide!

A group of us rafted here yesterday and it was so much fun!!! Our guide was Chris and he really made the experience a great one!. He was very knowledgable about the area and rafting. He made things seem really easy, even when it was not! The place isn't too difficult to find and if you don't take the highway... More

We just went whitewater river rafting for the first time here last week, when visiting from Texas. WE LOVED IT!!!! Our instructor/leader was KEITH! HE WAS AWESOME! Definitely, recommend doing this when visiting the Smokies, especially with this company in particular. We felt super adventurous. We even bought the professional pictures they take while your rafting because they came out... More

My family took the mildest rafting trip in the Fall of 2011. My youngest child was 3 years old at the time and we were concerned with safety and we had never rafted before. Everyone was given a life jacket and a helmet before our trip began. Our guide was great and he shared stories of his rafting adventures with... More

From the great price, to the quick easy check-in, to the fantastically fun tour guides this excursion was the highlight of our Gatlinburg summer vacation in 2012. I always recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. And you'd better believe the next time we come to town, this will be our first adventure on the list!! Thanks for some... More
