And certainly not the last - thanks to Sy and his colleagues! Went down the river with the whole family, including the kids - never felt at uncomfortable risk and never bored either. Responsible guide! Thanks guys and see you next time we come by Tn. Cheers Hans

Our guides for our trip, Zach and Amelia, were awesome. They made the trip up to the launch and quick. If there was any nerves the comedy soothed it. If you have never been to NC they will give you the chance to walk across the border. Amelia was our guide and she gave us a great river ride. Small... More

Our first visit to Tennessee and our first whitewater rafting experience. It was awesome, so much so that I will do this everytime I come back and only with them. Very friendly, inexpensive, and so much fun. Our guide seemed to have as much fun as we did. I highly recommend these guys for your rafting trip. The frozen toes... More

After 6 years paddling, I injured myself in my *Real Life*. 10 mos sidelined. First time I got back into big water, I had a panic attack. Dave took the Hubby and me kayaking down the Pigeon, helping me remember my strokes, reminding me about reading lines, and he gave me short tip-lesson. He was there every moment, aware of... More

Our family of 5 rafted with Rapid Expeditions on August 22nd, 2012. In my opinion, a great time of year to hang out in the Smoky Mountains. The river wasn't crowded, nor was the area around the rafting companies. We were treated very well by all of the Rapid Expedition people. As an example...on our rafting day, another group of... More

Other than my wife, we were first timers down this whitewater adventure. Greg did a great job and was entertaining us with historical facts and good jokes while we were between the rapids. Look forward to coming again some time!!

Great experience provided by our guide Zack Lewis. Zack got the most out of the rapids with great surfing moves while carefully challenging my wife , my 13 year old son , and myself to get the most out of the river. Highly reccommend you use this company if you want to do more than just float down a river.... More
