I took my wife, 13 yr old daughter and 11 yr old son on their first whitewater rafting trip and Big Creek Expeditions made the whole experience fantastic. Despite the sizable crowd, they efficiently and quickly got everyone outfitted with gear, provided instruction and got us on a bus for an enjoyable bus ride with guides that were a barrel... More

I went in April with my friend and her family. Jo was our guide and he made it so much fun. He had a great sense of humor and he was so full of knowledge. I had a blast and never laughed so hard. If anyone is going to Big Creek Expeditions I would recommend Jo as your guide!! More

Recently we traveled to nearby Hartford, TN to do some guided white water rafting on the Upper Section of the Pigeon River. This is in a beautiful area nestled in the Great Smokey Mountains.

Big Creek Expeditions is about 45 minutes south of Gatlinburg. We decided at the very last minute, on a Sunday, to try to go white water rafting. They happened to be the only place that was open! We were very lucky to have found them for our first trip white water rafting. I have always been very nervous and apprehensive... More

We had a great time. We were placed with another family since it was just me and my husband but it was a lot of fun. The guide was cool and we hit some pretty decent rapids. I would have liked more rapids, but then again it's a river and you get what you get. Lots of fun. We want... More

What fun! We loved the trip, our guide Daniel was so fun and had a good knowledge of the sport and the river. Our only wish is that it had been a longer excursion! More

Our recent trip down the Upper Pigeon River with our able guide, JD, was the best part of our recent trip to TN. Big Creek Expeditions is a top notch operation, easy check in, plenty of information ahead of time, and a fun filled, safe experience for our family of four. I would recommend this over anything else Tennessee has... More
