My husband and I were celebrating our 15 anniversay, and we decided to go rafting. Our friends told us about Rapid Expeditions and said we should give them a try. We had so much fun, and we felt very safe with Zac. He was friendly and funny, plus I'm sure he could have guided the raft on his own. We... More

Lots of fun on the Upper Pigeon Forge River. The water level is controlled by a power damn, lots of rain in area recently, so water moving quicker than normal. The trip took only about 50 min of what is advertised as 1.5 hours. Despite this, the trip was fun, fast and exciting. The guide was good and the folks... More

This was my first time white water rafting. We were visiting the area for our honeymoon. We researched the rafting companies on trip advisor. We chose Rapid Expeditions because it is a locally owned company. We were greeted by a friendly furry dog face when we arrived. Everyone was welcoming and funny. Zach was our tour guide. Pretty funny guy!... More

After a day of zip lining with our guide Zac he told us that he is also a rafting guide, so we knew we wanted to go rafting with him. Having Zac as our guide for both zipping and rafting was an excellent experience. We loved being able to have that extra bit of care and connection with a guide... More

Thanks to Rapid Expeditions and Sy, our guide, for making our first whitewater rafting experience a memorable one. My wife and 3 boys, 8 12 & 14, can't stop talking about it. Especially, about the plane wreckage from the 1638 crash and the nets along I-40 for the drunk bears. We will be back.

First whitewater experience. Great fun! Sy did a great job of guiding and providing a solid level of excitement for our experience level. Reasonably priced and friendly.

And certainly not the last - thanks to Sy and his colleagues! Went down the river with the whole family, including the kids - never felt at uncomfortable risk and never bored either. Responsible guide! Thanks guys and see you next time we come by Tn. Cheers Hans

Our guides for our trip, Zach and Amelia, were awesome. They made the trip up to the launch and quick. If there was any nerves the comedy soothed it. If you have never been to NC they will give you the chance to walk across the border. Amelia was our guide and she gave us a great river ride. Small... More

Our first visit to Tennessee and our first whitewater rafting experience. It was awesome, so much so that I will do this everytime I come back and only with them. Very friendly, inexpensive, and so much fun. Our guide seemed to have as much fun as we did. I highly recommend these guys for your rafting trip. The frozen toes... More
