Great Time on the River! - We had a great time on the Ocoee with Cherokee Rafting. The guides were a blast but also very professional. They balanced fun with safety in a way that made the trip very enjoyable. Our raft was able to catch some waves and holes that I had never done before. We will raft with Cherokee again.

Cherokee was the best!! PADDLE HIGH FIVE! - Our experience with Cherokee River Rafting was wonderful. Our guide, Cherokee, made everything feel very safe and fun. The rapids were pretty consistent - the full 2 hours of our ride was entertaining and thrilling. Cherokee was very thorough with pre-rafting training, while still keeping it simple. Highly recommend splitting the cost of the pictures with others in your boat if you have seperate groups. Overall, very pleased with this experience and all the staff at Cherokee River Rafting. After rafting be sure to visit Hungry Hippie for post rafting lunch. It is located right of Cherokee River Rafting about 3 minutes down the road. We loved it!!

Enjoyable and Memorable - We had a group of six and scheduled a 9 am trip. It would have been easy to schedule online. But, to receive a military discount, I had to call in. The check-in was efficient, the safety brief was smooth, and we were quickly headed to get on the water. Our guide, Hunter, helped make the trip enjoyable and memorable, all while staying safe and under control. I highly recommend this rafting company and ask for Hunter!

We all stayed in the boat until we chose to get out - Wonderful, safe, and exciting trip with Super Sydney! She was friendly and professional and all the other guides we met were great as well. Check in was easy and I can’t say enough good things about Cherokee Rafting.
