- Ann A1 contributionHighly recommend!Husband and I did the full day trip. Was amazing from start to finish. Easy online reservations to check-in upon arrival. Weather perfect; our guide, Rick, was awesome; very skilled in whitewater rafting and knowledgeable about the area. Very friendly and personable! My husband and I have been whitewater rafting several times, many on the Ocoee and we both can say this was definitely the best trip we’ve done! Would highly recommend this outfitter and Rick as your guide, for sure!!!So glad you guys had a great time on the Ocoee with us. Please come back again and feel free to request Rick. He does an amazing job.Written July 13, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 8, 2024
- Ashleigh D1 contributionThe best experience ever!!Booking was easy, Groupon had a nice coupon. If you have any questions all you have to do is call them! Time change for us, not terrible. Drove 4 1/2 hours to get there. Got there, parked, hung out, checked in 30 mins before leaving out to the water, meet our guide. Got our gear, took pictures, bus ride about 10ish mins to the water, went over safety stuff and how to, then hit the water. Our guide this trip was DANIEL! He’s such a cool down to earth dude. He gave us the best wild ride which we all enjoyed!! Highly recommended booking a trip with him on the weekend!! Afterwards we took the bus ride back, and washed up in the bath house which was nice! Gather at the gift shop looked and got some cool stuff. It was awesome! 🤩 Thanks again DANIEL! We had such a wonderful time!Visited August 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 25, 2024
- April DWichita Falls, Texas2 contributionsRafting tripRuss was fantastic!! His 26 years of experience shows! We all had a great time and will be coming back! We passed a lot of other rafting companies and it was very noticeable that Adventures Unlimited is far superior in knowledge of the rapids.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 25, 2024
- Rachel3 contributionsFantastic trip!Daniel was our river guide, and we had the best time! This was our 5th time going rafting and our first time with Adventures Unlimited. Highly recommend! They were much more organized than some outfits we've gone with in the past. The check in process was easy and the facilities were not bad at all. Sharing the changing / bathrooms with 30+ teen girls after the trip wasn't ideal, but it was ok! The rafts were very sturdy. Daniel was the leader of our group so we felt very lucky to be in his group. He kept us entertained and we all felt safe! Five stars!Visited August 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 26, 2024
- kevin z3 contributionsAwesome time!This was our first time white water rafting. Zack our tour guide made our trip fun, adventurous and all around awesome. Zack is top notch! Our son went this summer with his church group and we had no idea that he also went with Adventures Unlimited and had Zack has his tour guide, he absolutely loved it and told us we had to go! We will definitely book another trip and request Zack as our tour guide!Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 31, 2024

We had a great full day on the river with our guide Josh Lemon. We arranged for the private boat with 6 passengers and definitely entertained the adults as well as 4 teenagers. Josh made sure we were safe, understood the process and the river, as well as giving us a great ride down the rapids. We have used Adventures Unlimited several times and consistently they deliver a fun and exciting day!

I am a season pass holder and go down the Ocoee with AU maybe 30-50 trips per season. But I only review maybe once or twice per year.
Today is one of those days!
Started the day doing a full river experience with Dana as my guide. I have rafted with him before and he was excellent as always. His 26 years of experience and his passion for the river really show through.
After the full river trip was done there was still daylight left so I jumped on the last trip of the day for the classic Middle Ocoee. this time Leon was my guide. I have rafted with Leon many time before as well. This trip we all had a blast. Since it was later in the day the crowds were a little lighter and we had a bonus of some higher water. Like I said, everybody had a blast, but I really think the person having the most fun was guide Leon!
So for my two trips today I had almost 50 yrs of combined raft guide experience guiding the raft. AS I looked around I realized there were several guides with tons of experience on the trips. Plus I know there were guides on different trip times also with 20 yrs + and tons more with 5-10 years + experience. All working at AU!
While we were on the lunch break for the full river trip (lunch is included with the full river trip) I was sitting with a family from Chicago. They asked me if I had ever been down the Ocoee with other outfitters which I have been. They they asked me if they are all basically the same? My answer... I have been rafting with other companies but I bought my season pass the last 4 years at Adventures unlimited because they are the best!!!!
Best guides, best facilities, and since I have known them a while now I will say THE BEST PEOPLE! If you are going to travel and spend your money these are the people that you want to do business with!

Came with a group of girls for a bachelorette party and AU REALLY delivered! I really appreciate AU accommodating us after our late arrival due to a flat tire. The outpost was so neat. Great shaded parking. Good bath house. And a very cool outdoor canteen/bar area. I’ve done the Ocoee with another rafting company but this was the best experience I’ve had. I highly recommend doing the full Ocoee experience with lunch. The lunch was substantial for a day on the river! Josh Lemon (our guide) did an amazing job customizing this trip to just the “right amount” of “wild” we wanted to get while keeping us feeling very safe. He was a wealth of knowledge on the area and the history of TVA. Very interesting for a bunch of engineers on this trip! I would request him again as our guide.

We have used this outfitter for many years and have always had a great time. Very nice friendly staff. Wil was our guide this year and did a great job ensuring we had a safe and enjoyable time on the river. Carlos is one heck of a bus driver among his many other responsibilities. Julie has always been a pleasure to deal with and Jewlz gets our reservations lined out like the pro that she is. We always have a large group of family and friends and paying the bill from many different people so this is sometimes confusing but always handled great. We had to cancel last year due to a sudden death in my immediate family and not only was our refund quick and without problems, when I called this year to book they remembered our previous situation and offered condolences. This type of personal interaction is just one more this that makes them stand out with us. We have a large group that camps there also and we always have a great time and enjoy the atmosphere. A slight warning to those that are looking for complete serenity and wilderness camping this isn't it, which for this weekend every year is great for us. Music, food and imbibing are the norm and we wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks again ya'll!

This review is specifically about the camp ground at AU. My Husband and I were taking our 13 yr old son and his best friend on the Full river trip the next day. We picked a great site. We had a great meal and games by the fire. We turned in for the night around 9:30 to get ready for our adventure the next day. At 10:00 4 very loud, very foul mouthed individuals moved in right beside us. After a bit they went over to the Bus and we were able to sleep for a couple of hours. When they returned at about 12:30 they continued to be loud. Yes we asked them nicely to quiet down but they were very drunk and never did quiet down. We did not get any sleep and my kids learned many new disgusting words. Don't bring the kids camping on a weekend at the AU camp ground. The guides and trips are great! and we have camped on a Sunday with no issues at all.

I did things in a whitewater raft I had never even heard of before. Our Guide Lin (Mandy) Harris had us going down rapids backwards (on purpse) and one time we spun around and around in a fun thing called Screaming Turtle! Another great thing was when Lin (Mandy to us - OK we are her caving friends) asked "Who wants to ride the Bull?" Turns out this means you sit up on the nose of the raft and hang on to a strap. You better hang on because you go over about three drops in short order. Water went completely over me but I hung on. However, after being blasted the third time I got pushed into the floor of the raft. It was completely safe but totally crazy.

Great trip, Leon, the guide with the horns on his helmet, made sure we got some thrills but never felt out of control. My husband has hearing loss and they made sure they addressed it and made him comfortable. My daughter who had done the Ocoee multiple times won't use any other company, I agree with her.

We had a great time on the Ocoee!
Our guide, Jimmy, was excellent as he shared the history of the rafting experience on this super fun Tennessee river. He even spotted a bald eagle sitting in a tree!
Although the May weather was a bit cool the soaking runs through the rapids was exciting. We had a good variety of challenges including "surfing" different rapids and Jimmy's "360 views" of our incredible surroundings.
Adventures Unlimited did a fine job not only with the river experience but with camping and live music on-site.
We had a great time and will return again!

The was one of the best rafting experiences I’ve ever had, and it was half the price of all the others! Also I was impressed that our guide Jimmy was able to tell us a little about the history of the area and the local flora. Absolutely would recommend. Great time

Adventures Unlimited showed us an amazing time. We did the full day trip down the Ocoee and I highly recommend it for all the adventure seekers. Josh Lemon was our guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable about rafting and about the river. The area is beautiful and the rapids were awesome. Our trip was fantastic and I plan to return in the future.

What age can children ride along the river with their parents? Do you offer canoeing as well?
Written September 13, 2016
Children must be 12 or older per Tennessee state law. They only offer rafting as far as I know, no canoeing.

Would my Down syndrome daughter be safe while rafting as I believe she would not be paddling or could she be in the center of the raft? How do I get there using public transportation?
Written August 28, 2016
They can accommodate that. The guide will put her in the middle of the raft with plenty of room to hang on. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

Is there a weight limit? I've done this type of activity many times but not my husband and he's on the heavy side, so was wondering some places have a limit
Written April 6, 2016
I am a "heavy" guy and been twice. Life jackets will go to 58" chest. I saw some guys bigger than me on other boats, so go and have a BLAST.

Do you have lockers for personal items, and are there private showers?
Written August 28, 2015
No lockers because you can leave things in your car. Very safe. They will bus you down to the river and back after. Yes there are private showers.
