    Keeping it upright!
    Jay M.

    Always a great time using Woody and Cartecay River Experience ! Pick up after trip always on time with friendly folks helping load the gear!

    IT WAS A BLAST The first day we did the small lazy river and it was fun the next day we did the 3 hour with the class 2 and 3 rapids. All I can say is what a blast it was. I highly recommend it

    bruise from falling off the tube

    THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR KIDS We were visiting Georgia and wanted to go tubing and i saw this place on google and checked the reviews, the pictures on google are completely different from what the place actually looks like, it shows umbrellas with benches: not there. It also says safe for all ages, Definitely not!!! When we got there they said it would take about 1-2 hours to do the whole river ( it did not, it probably took 5hrs) for my kids we got the kid floats (13yr and 14yr) they didn't think to tell us that the kid float were for small kids! so the first 30mins they popped, of course and we couldn't go back and we didn't bring a phone ( out fault) so our kids just sat on top of me and my husband. my husband and 13yr kept falling every 5 minutes. then once we got to the rocky part we all fell and my 14yr got a really bad bruise ( i put the picture there) also not to mention the kid floats were pool floats, Definitely not for tubing! Anyways like i said my husband and kid kept falling and we didn't know how much more there was, my kids were freaking out because they were falling and kept scratching themselves. We saw this guy with his kids relaxing on their porch and we just got off of out tubes and swam to him, we couldn't go much longer,the water was cold, my kids were both freaking out, me and my husband were both stressed and i am so thankful for the guy there because he literally saved our lives . So unless you want to come back home with scratches and bruises Do. Not. come here.

    Friendly staff, we had a blast floating down the lazy river section. I'd recommend bringing a stick to avoid getting stuck on rocks!

    The north river entrance is better than the south entrance. Tubes were dirty and deflated

I felt like she took every opportunity to really make the rapids come to life and be exciting. It wasn't just floating down the Rapids, it was maneuvers, and skill and tricks. 20/10 would recommend, chef's kiss.

Float trips on Monday but not again until Thursday. As we arrived we were greeted by their friendly staff to get checked in. We bought water shoes, some cool merch and waited for our departure to the river. Guides gave us an entertaining safety run down and we got gear( floatation device, helmet, paddle) last minute bathroom breaks, water, etc. Bus trip was thrilling as our Florida family is not used to all the up, down and around on the roads you get driving in the mountains on a bus. Beautiful views on the way to the drop in. Mayo was our guide and we were all in the same raft. Trip was epic! Our sons sat in the front of the raft and had the best time as did all of us. Mayo was a great lead on this trip and made the adventure even more memorable. Giving clear direction and some comic relief along the way Mayo made us feel comfortable and confident making our way down these class 4 rapids. Pull out was a breeze and bus ride back was relaxing after such an adventure. Photos were beautiful and purchased in the office with link sent via email with the photos. We can't wait to come back and conquer the Upper Ocoee as a fam with Mayo as our guide! Thank you Mayo, and Rolling Thunder-you are part of our memories now:) Highly Recommend!
