We loved the Ocoee combo that we did this weekend with 9 friends. We were split into two rafts with strangers, but I think if we had 10, we would have been able to split into 2 rafts without strangers. Loved our guide Ryan and he made sure we had a great time! We were kinda bummed that the cameras malfunction when we had some pretty epic pics at the Olympic section, but other than that all pics turned out great! Highly recommend doing the combo and not just one portion of the Ocoee- it would be too short just do to one!

Ocoee Whitewater Rafting is an amazing experience! All of the staff we encountered were friendly, efficient, professional, and personable. Seabolt was an excellent and super talented guide. Every "Ocoee" boat guide watched out for each other and co-existed on the river like a symphony. Thank you all for making our family and friend's summer vacation the best every. We can't wait until next year!

This was my first experience rafting. I was nervous at first but once we all got through the first rapids it was an amazing trip. Our guide was Jill, what an amazing woman and experience to have on my first rafting trip. The experience lasted about 2 hours. From start to finish was an amazing time. The company showed respect for the water and its dangers and help safeguard us while making the experience great. I highly recommend Wildwater Rafting as a place to experience the Ocoee River waters.

I do not want to take away from our awesome guide Jon who was quite skilled and made it a fun experience for our party of seven that consisted of four adults and three teenagers. Thank you Jon!

My rating is based on what I can only describe as covert racism by the manager on duty at Wildwater. I initially took the sarcastic comment that members in my party could not spell their names as poor humor but he continued with "do they know their address?" in a condescending manner with a smirk on his face. I was also inquiring with a different employee on a credit for one of our party as she could no longer attend due to illness when he butted in with a rough, resounding and abrupt "NO!" (Ultimately, the one ticket was eventually refunded as they had no zipline availability that it could be applied to.) The "manager" was totally unpleasant. His behavior was observed by members of his own staff, one of whom spoke to him to tone it down to which he responded "Old habits are hard to break." We were truly enjoying our stay and the hospitality of the beautiful people in the Blue Ridge area until coming across his attitude. This is my family's fourth time on the Ocoee but our first and absolutely last time with Wildwater. I can only surmise the "old habits that are hard to break" relate only to our brown skinned family. This is so disappointing that this attitude still prevails today.

We went on our first white water rafting trip with Wildwater. It was amazing! This company is so professional and the guides are very knowledgeable of the river. That is so important. We felt safe and also hit every rapid possible. The guides work together as a team and make sure everyone is safe. We passed a lot of other companies that had less experienced guides that were caught on rocks, etc. I 100% recommend this company!!!

We had a fantastic day with Wildwater Rafting. We chose to do the middle section of Ocoee, mainly class 3 and 4 rapids. In our group of 8 we had a couple people who had a good deal of trepidation about getting out on the river. The team at Wildwater spoke to them to explain the safety measures and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Our guide was Ryan (21 years as a guide) and he did a great job leading us down the river and making everyone feel both engaged and safe (not an easy feat). Our trip went off without a flaw and we truly appreciate the service we received at each part of the process. Highly recommended!

Acacia was amazing for our family trip down the Ocoee! We had a great adventure and felt safe in her hands with kids in the raft, while she navigated the rapids with ease. Easy to book with Wildwater & they have digital waivers! Clean bathrooms with showers available if you are looking for that after your trip. Photos taken were excellent, affordable, and sent via dropbox!

We chose Wildwater Rafting because of its good ratings and that it was close to Blue Ridge, GA where we were staying and we’re glad we did. The reservations were easy to book on line along with all the necessary paperwork the night before our trip. The facility was so clean, the process was organized and everyone was friendly and helpful. Ryan was our guide and was fun but informative with lots of river stories to treat us with. It was a great experience and we would recommend Wildwater Rafting to everyone.

We did the Middle Ocoee/Zipline Combo. Excellent trip and our guide Ryan was amazing and very patient. The zipline crew was also very funny and helpful. A big thanks to Easton and Tyler.

I know there are a lot of companies out there offering rafting trips and zipping adventures, but this was the only one that I found that offered a combo discount. In fact I reached out to a company that had multiple adventures we wanted to do and they wouldn't combo them and discount them. I would have done all three of them with that company. There loss was our gain because I found Wildwater.

Wildwater is a great company and I highly recommend them.

We visited Wildwater on 6/24/23 and took the full 10 mile trip down the Ocoee River. Our guide was Ben and we had a great time. Ben took the time to tell us about each water feature so we could prepare to conquer them. There were 7 in our group plus Ben, 4 of us had never been white water rafting and we loved it. The Ocoee river is awesome and Wildwater gave us a great experience with friendly guides, James our bus driver, gift shop, a good lunch and nice bathrooms with showers which we used after our river adventure. It was nice to be able to clean up for our 3 hour road trip back home to AL. We will definitely use Wildwater again on our next trip to the Ocoee.
