We just finished a great trip down the river with Big Frog. We had our trip planned for 11:30, which I thought was a little late in the day but it turned out to be a great trip. We booked the upper & middle with lunch. There were fewer people on the river - we had 3 in our raft... More

There are plenty of reviews about the rapids and such, so here is our review of the whole experience, including camping on site. I hope you find this helpful in planning your trip! :) We had 4 people in our party, we'd all bought a groupon for rafting. The return policy is clearly stated on their website, and it is... More

My crew of 4 travelled the middle river with Joey. It was his first trip of the 2012 season. Never did we feel as if we were in danger. We had an excellent crew that followed his commands and he was able guide the raft into the class 4 rapids with ease. Only once during the trip did he yell... More

We had a great experience with Big Frog this past weekend. We had 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 16, 15, 12 and 12). The whole process was very smooth from check in to return to the outpost. Our guides (we had 2 rafts for 8 people) were both very professional and fun at the same time. I would definitely... More

Our rafting trips with Big Frog are always fun! We always have very knowledgable guides and we had a problem with another rafting company taking our money and not providing a service, and Big Frog helped us out with that too. I can't say enough about this Rafting Company! Try them, you won't be disappointed. More

This was our 3rd trip to Big Frog as a church group and overall we are pleased with them, however there are a few areas they could improve on. First, we arrived 30 min prior to our trip time as instructed, only to stand around and wait for over an hour before the bus arrived to take us up river... More

Using a Groupon, I took my daughter & her two teenage friends this past Sunday to Big Frog. Being this was my first time whitewater rafting, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I came away impressed with the experience, professionalism of the staff and the adventure we all had. I would highly recommend Big Frog Expeditions to anyone thinking... More

I see there are many great reviews when it comes to the Big Frog Expeditions. This is why I thought we were going to have an awesome time white water rafting with them. Looking through all the reviews you do come across a few unhappy customers and they all seem to have experienced the same issues; unfriendly staff and a... More

My fiancee, another couple of friends, and I drove down from Nashville last week to go rafting at Big Frog Expeditions and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They had everything you could possibly need at their lodge for before and after the trip. Aaron took us through our safety briefing and did a great job of entertaining while informing us.... More
