We have joined Rolling Thunder two times now for an excellent day down the Nantahala River. They are nice, priced right, great guides, safe, and lots of fun! This last trip, we took our Christmas pictures on the last rapid. Rolling Thunder takes pictures of you as you are going down the river. We had our santa caps on! Awesome... More

From the time we arrived til the time we departed the staff and facilities were very accomodating. Everyone was patient and kind. The safety instructions, shuttle bus ride, and the actual rafting trip was very entertaining. Our guide, "Thumper" John was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept us laughing and safe. We can't wait to come back next year. More

These guys were awesome - funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the river. We rafted down with our guide Allen who was absolutely awesome - had us cracking up laughing the entire ride down with jokes. Even the safety lesson and the shuttle ride to the top of the river was funny. Once on the river we saw several other rafting... More

Thanks to our guide, Wayne, we had a phenomenal white-water rafting experience. Most of us (ages 10 to 40's) white-water raft for the first time and we had an enjoyable time! Some of the kids were afraid but our guide told stories to make them feel more at ease. Beautiful sites - a must when visiting the mountains in North... More

We have another excellent adventure as repeat customers. Moose made sure we hit every thing you could in the river (we asked him for this). He thought we were crazy but did it for us. What a great time. More

Boomer thank you for an awesome adventure! Rafting the Nantahala River was more than we expected. Everyone from our seven year-old to our forty-some year old had the time of their lives. We all want to do it again and again and again. Great customer service from arrival to departure. Friendly, helpful people. Highly RECOMMEND Rolling Thunder River Company. You... More
