Best rafting company on the Ocoee! - We had the best time! This was my very first whitewater rafting trip, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Hunter, was absolutely amazing—kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire experience both exciting and safe, while keeping everyone laughing along the way. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be bringing more friends next time. If you go, ask for Hunter—he’s the best! Highly recommend!

Best Whitewater Rafting Experience Ever - Best rafting company ever! The guides are professional and fun. Whitewater rafting on the Ocoee is the perfect mix of excitement, adventure, and safety. It is such a unique experience, unlike anything at a theme park. I have been down the river three times, including the Upper Ocoee, the Full River Trip, and the Middle Ocoee. I can't emphasize enough how fantastic each of our experiences have been. All of the rafting guides are awesome at Cherokee, and I have had the pleasure of riding with three of them. When you register, I highly recommend you request Clara, Everett, or Ethan!

Family/couples fun on the river. - We had a fantastic day on the river with Cherokee Rafting. Easy setup, easy check in, nice facilities, and great value. Our guide, Trey, was a pro and customized our trip with just the right amount of whitewater adventure.

Absolute BLAST !! Can't wait to do it again ! - Went with a work group and some friends. We had an absolute blast !! Will be returning with my wife at some point. The guides were great and everyone was very friendly. Just an FYI - the water is cold ! But just for the first couple of rapids then you're acclimated, and it isn't bad at all after that. Our guide, Chad, was very knowledgeable of the river and knew where to avoid and where to go. We made the entire trip and didn't flip or lose anyone out of the boat, which is good ! Highly recommend. Can't wait till we go back !!

Great experience - Our family did the middle Ocoee with our guide Aaron. He was absolutely amazing and put us on as many surfs as we could get. Would definitely recommend Aaron for your guide! We will be back for more adventures.
