We spent well over an hour on the river, including time when we could actually get out of the raft and float down the river. Yak was our guide, and he was very obviously quite experienced. He knew exactly what to do to give us the most fun possible while keeping us safe. When everyone fell out of another raft ahead of us, Yak kept his cool and directed us over to them so we could help rescue them (everyone was fine). This guy was super chill and very knowledgeable about the area. You should definitely ask for him; he knows what he's doing.

Five stars all around for our experience with OAR. My husband wanted to go whitewater rafting on…read morethe Ocoee for his birthday this year, and after a quick search through Yelp and beyond, OAR is one of the best rated rafting companies in the area. We booked the Middle River trip, which totals about 3 hours and includes 1.5 hours on the river itself. I booked our trip a couple of weeks in advance online, and I'm glad I did, because they sold out for the day! It was $65 per person, which feels like a fair price for the experience. They recommend arriving 30 minutes early, which will give you plenty of time to get checked in and get your party situated. Definitely bring sunscreen and a plastic water bottle, along with the proper water shoes and attire. You're instructed to leave everything in your car, and then drop your keys off with the front desk staff for pick-up after your rafting trip. The safety briefing started right on time, and basically consists of what to do if you end up going overboard. It's not meant to be scary, and most of it is self-intuitive. There were about 60 people in our group, and the majority of rafts held 6 people. After the safety talk was over, everyone gets their own lifejacket, oar, and helmet. Then you and the rest of your crew hops on a school bus, which will take you to the drop-off site about 20 minutes away. This is where we met our rafting guide, Cleveland, and after a quick demo on paddling and how to sit in the raft, we were off on our adventure! Our time on the water was so much fun, and I want to shout out how incredible Cleveland was from the beginning to the end. He was an awesome mix of friendly, engaging, and informative, which made our trip all the more memorable! As a group of two, we were paired with two other random couples to fill out our raft, which was a great way to meet some new people. Overall this was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to do it again soon. We'll definitely be booking the full river trip next time!

My group of six was here for the weekend and we decided to book the zip line and rafting combo…read more The zip line portion was fun. We had fantastic guides - kitten kitty cat and Cierra. They were both so much fun and you can tell they truly love what they do. I've done several zip line courses in the past and this was one nice because we didn't have to do a lot of hiking; all the starts were close together so there wasn't a lot of waiting in between zips. The rafting portion was also very fun. Holden was our guide and he was so nice and knowledgeable. It was very interesting learning about the different rapids names and how they were named that. He let us decide how adventurous we wanted to be and didn't let any of us fall out the boat. Now, the rafting was cold. COLD. That's our fault for booking at the end of September. We were provided with dry tops that went over our clothes and those were nice. I wore water shoes and I'm glad I did. After the rafting you go back to the main center and there's changing rooms that also have hot showers connected to them. So it's worth bringing some body wash and a nice warm change of clothes for when you're done. They also took some cool pictures, we didn't purchase them but we should have !

I felt safe at all times with our raft guide Justin and we had a blast. There was a break where we could hop out and swim around in a calm side area of the river, perfect for these hot days. Back at the outpost after our adventure we opted to get all of our boats photos and I'm so glad we did, the quality is great and the experience worth remembering.

It had a coupon for $12 off!! We called on Tuesday night about 7:45 (they closed at 9) and talked to Teresa who was able to schedule our foursome for a trip at 2:00 on Wednesday. She was so helpful and gave us some tips for travel to Hartford. Once we got there we checked in with a very competent and thorough young lady. We took a short bus ride to the "put in" point. On the 10 minute ride some of the guides performed fun comedic routines which kept us from thinking about how hot we were on a bus with no AC ( except open windows), decked out in life jackets and helmets while holding our paddles upright. :-) We got paired with a river rafting guide named Brantley. He gave us great paddling instructions before we even entered the raft. Since we had all been river rafting before, he explained that the trick to having a more exciting trip is to synchronize your paddle strokes. We had a great time with Brantley. We truly appreciate his concern for our "fun factor" and especially our safe trip down the river.
