We have made this trip several times before, but this was the best yet. Our guide "Peaches" (you'll have to ask him how he got that name) was a gem. He knows every rock in the river, missed the ones that would hang us up and spun off others to make for a very exciting trip. Owner Mom starts the... More

I can't express the satisfaction enough from our trip today. My family and I took the 2 1/2 hour trip with Walker, our guide. He made our 1st time rafting kids laugh, squeal and soaked.... us adults as well. Don't know who enjoyed it more HA! I believe we got the creme brulee of the river. Everyone at the outpost... More

Sure, all outfitters on the Nantahala offer rafts and duckies... they all provide paddles and spalsh jackets, but none do it better and with that local ownership flavor as Mom does it at Paddle Inn. I took my family of 5 + 2 friends camping for a nice Labor Day weekend trip. the main event was a trip down the... More

Our family has rafted the Nantahala with another company ...but discovered "Paddle Inn" a few years ago and wouldn't recommend anyone else. Their prices are reasonable, the guides are great, and you are out on the water quickly. Our guide, Devin, provided a fun trip tailored to our wishes ....thanks! Their photo package price is great as well....for little over... More

We did the 2.5 hour full river run. We were celebrating my sister's 50th and this activity did not disappoint. "Mom", the owner for years still works every day with customers at 74 years old. on the day we went 8/16/12, she actually took a trip down the river herself! This is a great family atmosphere and just enough excitement....

I will recommend Paddle Inn to everyone!! We had so much fun. This trip is fun for all the family! We took our 8 year old nephew & were concerned he wouldn't be able to go but it was safe for us all. This was our 2nd rafting trip and we did not have a guide. It was a blast... More

We have a family of six with children ranging in ages from 10 to 21 yrs. old. We selected Paddle Inn Rafting Company due to the good reviews on Trip Advisor. Once again it was a good choice and our family had a great experience rafting for the 1st time on the Nantahala River. The staff at the Paddle Inn... More

Family ran company; no waiting for a bus to fill up. Our guide tailored the trip to what we wanted. Prices were much bettter than the NOC. My 7 year old wanted me to add that you don't have to paddle much if you don't want to.

Thank you Jeff for the great trip for my sisters 50th!! We had a wonderful time. See ya'll again soon!!
