So much fun! We came with a group of 8 so we had to split into two separate rafts due to each only holding 6 people but it was kind've like a fun little race! The guides were funny and you can tell they have a great time working with one another. Photos are taken while you're going through one portion of the River and are available to purchase afterwards. I got to "ride the bull" and failed horrendously. Sorry, Marco! They also have a nice changing area and gift shop to change into dry clothes afterwards. Make sure you wear water shoes!

10/10 recommend white water rafting here!! Our guide Stiles had around 8 years experience as a guide on this river and the other tour guides were very experienced as well! They know exactly how to navigate you through these rapids. Such a fun family activity! You will get completely soaked of course and it's worth it. The company takes pics along the River and you can purchase after youre off the water!

Best guide ever! 10/10!

Highly recommend Ocoee Rafting! Last summer we had guide Jake, who is a 4.99999/5 guide... great experience! However today our guide David really delivered an over the top experience!! He gave very clear and explicit instruction. We will be coming again! Roll Tide!! FDAU!

PBC fellowship at Raft 1 Oconee White Water Rafting was a AWESOME experience ! All day long was excitement of just being splash by the water off the river. Hitting the rapids being splash ! Being bounce out the boat being splash ! Or just siding down the water slide being splash in the river just to be cool off, OMG . You need to try it. Thanks Kerrie, who knew about your the job today ! AWESOME Grrrl. Thank you again

Awesome time. We took the upper and middle trip. Our guide John P was the best. He kept it interesting, provided some local knowledge of the river and made sure we got as wet as possible. He is an excellent guide. There are no negatives to this trip. I didn't really need any kind of bug spray it was sunny and 92 but you're in and out of the shade so didn't really have any big chance to get sunburned, water felt nice and cool.....everybody was excellent to deal with from sign in right through purchasing your pictures at the end. The locker rooms were clean and better-than-expected... Raft naked it will give you rosey cheeks!! We will definitely go back again. KB

Styles: Stiles: Steyels: not sure how he spells it... we had to run off to pick up my dog from doggie daycare after our raft trip! But he was SO great! So chill and personable and made it such a great float! I'll Be mailing my gratuity, since I didn't have time to thank you and Carl!!

Tell me we don't look like we're having a ball

Went white water rafting on my trip to North Georgia, it was only 40 minutes from where we were staying. This was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. Our raft guide "Yak" was super knowledgeable and gave off such a great energy. Will absolutely be coming back during season and specifically request Yak.

That's me in the middle along with my sister, niece, dad and our terrific guide, David!

I can't believe I'm 47 years old and had never been whitewater rafting before!! This was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The scenery was beautiful, the trip itself was thrilling, and what really made it extra special was our guide, David. As someone who creates magical experiences for a living, I can tell you that David and his passion for what he does truly elevated our overall experience. I was on our annual family vacation and all eight of us were elated by our trip down the river. Thank you Ocoee Rafting and thank you very much, David!! We will definitely be back next year and this time we'll book the full Ocoee River trip!

One cup of coffee, a two hour car ride, and we're going white water rafting? My enthusiasm was evidently lacking, but as part of my best friend's bachelor weekend I made it a point to act enthralled. Ducktown, Tennessee - aka the land of no cell phone reception. We arrived at the site, where signatures were required, documents were written up, and gear was passed out to us trailblazers. After a generic rules/safety speech by Matt (our impending guide), about 40 of us hopped on a school bus and drove 15 minutes to the Ocoee River. The next two hours on the five and a half mile trail weren't a blur, but more like a surreal experience. One where I couldn't fathom the beauty of the river, the expertise of our guide and the fact I was actually white water rafting all at once. Matt had us go over our responsibilities before we hit the water: paddling techniques, safety instructions and how to respond to his commands. And I think we did a fairly good job at following them, except for the "lean left" call. There's just so much I can say, I could truly compose a novel of our adventure. The dips, the turns, the ferocity of the Rapids, the crispness of the water, the smiles on our faces - I will always remember this experience. Matt's incredible knowledge of the Ocoee and his rafting talents made for a remarkable journey. We all had an outstanding time and we were surely wiped out the following day. WOULD RECOMMEND to anyone who's up for a little spice in their life. Five river rafting stars, guys.

Can't hear no banjos in this picture!

Okay..... just okay !!!!! Well you clearly were not with The most AWESOME RAFTING COMPANY ON THE OCOOE!!!! These guys are the best ever!!! Whether you are a rafting virgin or a seasoned veteran this awesome group of guides will never ever let you down!!! Whatever you do you make sure you ask for Colby as your guide!!!! Only if you want endless laughter, followed by romance, mystery, and a little science and local history this is the guide for you!!! All other guides are equally entertaining with their knowledge of the locals and banjo tunes.... But sadly pale in comparison to Our guide Colby .... Dont get me wrong you'll get to the bottom of the river. But you might be the Show. With Colby you get to watch the show and do all the cool tricks on the way down the river!!!

Caleb and Lily took me on my first whitewater rafting trip and completely ruined me (that's how fun…read moreand exhilarating and delightful and fun it was). If we can get our schedules worked out, I want to come back next week with my three kids (we live 3.5 hours away in Nashville, TN). I was supposed to be on my honeymoon this week, but we called off the wedding, and I couldn't get a refund on my cabin, so I went by myself. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, so I stopped in at the Cooperhill Brewery the night that I arrived & met Caleb, my guide. He said to contact Raft1 and book a raft for Thursday or Friday and ask for him as my guide. There was only one other person in my group who was rafting solo, so I actually ended up in a four-person raft with two guides. Lily was the perfect balance to Caleb and helped me feel confident. I just followed her lead, did what she did, and we had the best time. Caleb was the perfect guide. He's a great storyteller. He obviously has a great sense of adventure, but he was also concerned for our safety. He kept us laughing, too. After my raft experience, I did a zip line tour with Jamie and Weston. (Sorry, Jamie, for slamming into you on one of the zips!) Weston and Jamie were fantastic guides. They seemed genuinely interested in helping me have a positive experience, being concerned for my safety but also helping to stretch me to do things that seemed terrifying at first (you know, like jumping off of a perfectly good platform). I can't recommend Raft1 highly enough. I wished I lived closer so I could come back more often! I loved every minute!

Noah "Ribbit" was amazing! Super energetic and friendly. So glad we got him as our guide. This was…read moreour best water rafting experience so far.
