We booked a white water rafting trip this summer with Raftinginthesmokies.com. There were 6 people plus our guide in the raft. Our psyco guide dumped us in the river TWICE in number 2 rapids. Three people the first time, and five people the second time. There were at least 14 other rafts taking the same trip and no one else... more

The raft trip was, in it's totality, an extremely enjoyable experience! The rafting was fun and not overly challenging. Having a great boatman like Oscar, our guide, made it very "comfortable".

We had 14 people and everyone had a great time in two boats. Our guides were Elise and Chris S. and they were very good with the kids and made the trip extra fun. The youngest was 9, and the oldest was 45. The rapids were good but not too crazy. We can't wait to come back and do it... more

This was a great rafting trip - easy to book online, easy to find from Gatlinburg, super-friendly raft guides, fun, and reasonably priced. The one downside was waiting for the bus to leave once we arrived and checked in. We bussed to the take off point on the N.C. state line. There were calm points in the river where the... more

We rafted August 11, 2009. You will see many advertisements for Whitewater Rafting while staying in the Smokies but this one takes the cake!!! This company is very experienced and their guides make you feel safe and secure while scooting down the river. Quick tip, try not to get the first run of the day (I.E. 11am) to allow the... more

My family enjoyed a morning trip down the Upper Pigeon River in east Tennessee. We choose the "Rafting in the Smokies" company to take us down the river. This company was very professional and experienced guides. My family member all on their first whitewater rafting trip felt safe and enjoyed the experience. Super fun! Great Company! more
