Would go back to these guys over any other rafting outfit in the area! If you want a personal, fun & laid back group this is this place for you! Our guides were fun and professional! They take their time and don't rush you down the river like their competitors next door!

This company is great! I couldn't recommend them enough. One of the smallest on the river, they took their time to have fun and treated us like we were part of the family instead of just customers. I now call this place my home base while I am on the Pigeon River. Keep up the great work!

I can't say enough about Rapid Expeditions. They're a small company which really sets them apart. The owner, Dave, was great from the beginning. He let us in on the best time slot with a last minute reservation! Amelia was our guide and she rocked it out. A true outdoor enthusiast! The trip was the perfect balance of intense rapids... More

Well it was a slow day for RE so it was just my wife and I with Sy as our guide. So how many companies would be willing to take just 2 people. We highly recommend RE (5 stars) for your white water rafting trip. Sy took us up on the upper end and it was a blast. Wife was... More

Rapid Ex is the Best!!! Our guide Zach was awesome. His love and knowledge of the river made the day perfect for us! The owner Dave was very pleasant to deal with, both over the phone and in person. Our date had to be rescheduled several times due to travel plan changes and Dave worked with us. White water rafting... More

Had a great time on this trip. Safety was key to all the staff. Had a blast bonding and making memories with the others in my raft. Greg was a great guide- very funny and knew everything about the river. Definitely recommend this place!

My family just went on this trip today! We had children ages 4-19 and they all had a great time. The ride was fun, the swimming relaxing, and the views spectacular. There was no large crowd. Zach was our awesome guide and he definitely made the trip more enjoyable with his narrations and knowledge of the river and other area... More
