We have never been white water rafting before but thought it would be fun to do while on vacation in the Smokey Mountains.

I met my brother and his family for a quick few days together, and, as the only outdoorsy one in the bunch - they went to Dollywood and I went rafting!

My husband had never been whitewater rafting before....but he had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Ziggy made my husband feel comfortable. He kept the trip exciting with his lively and informative information. When we return, we will definitely ask for Ziggy again.

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!
