My family and I rafted down the natahala for our first time with rolling thunder river company past weekend. We had a wonderful experience and our guide Vince was patient and very informative. We felt safe and well guided through our 2 hour adventure that day. We will recommend rolling thunder to everyone for their natahala rafting trip.

Boomer was our guide and he was the bomb! It was our first time rafting but we were all fit and he gave us a show. He was sweet, funny and the life saver for the day. Luckily none of us needed the saving. We were "clean up" on the river that day and had a blast! We have since... More

We had a "gurls thang" retreat and we decided we wanted to hit the river and concurred it. So where else do you go to attack the rapids but to "Rolling Thunder River Company." So glad we did it our guide was so wonderful. He was patient with us and explained the rowing perfectly. He made us feel like we... More

I very highly recommend Rolling Thunder! Our family had a fantastic time and their prices are terrific. The guides are a lot of fun and do some fun stuff on the river that the other bigger rafting companies won't do. And they also offer a CD of professional pics of your rafting experience that is very reasonably priced. We will... More

We ladies had a retreat in the mountains and went to ride the river on Monday7/23. This is the best place to go, they have the best guides to take you down the 8 mile river and they make your trip a blast! Great guide Alex "Marty the one man Party"! We never stopped laughing and we never got stuck... More

This was my families first trip rafting. We took a guided trip with Taco (which I would recommend a guide). The trip was perfect and the highlight of my families whole vacation. Everything went smoothly from booking the rafting trip to leaving. I think all the guides were great, full of personality, and funny.

It is worth the extra money to use a guide . The one raft that did not hire a guide flipped over into the water that was about 50 degrees . Sparrow was our guide and what a great two hours . Our youngest child is 8 and he was able to hold his own .

Last year (2011) we were looking for somewhere to go white water rafting and we found The Rolling Thunder River Company. When I called to ask a few questions about them the lady in the office was very nice and answered all of my questions. We took our kids (ages 8 & 11 at the time) and my in-laws (who... More

We recently went on a family roadtrip vactation. We visited DC, Va, Ga FL and NC. Had a wonderful time every where we went. The expierence at the Rolling Thunder River Co. was by far our favorite. The people were very friendly and our guide Sparrow was quite entertaining. We had two children 10 and 12, a close family friend,... More
