The trip was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rafting trip. There was a 95 year old gentleman on the boat behind us, so... More

This was my first time White Water Rafting. I went with a group of co-workers reluctantly. I am not a big adventure seeker. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job of making me feel safe on the trip. I did enjoy the trip! I am glad I got the experience. More

We had a blast rafting the French Broad River with this company. The staff are professional, knowledgable, and personable. We aged from 7 to 50 and everyone had the time of their lives. It was our 2nd trip and we will definitely do it again when we visit Asheville. More

The river was really beautiful, and the stop for lunch was fine. The rapids were pretty calm so next time I'd book one of the trips with the higher rated rapids, but I think... More
