    A fun adventures day rafting the Leigh River. Rapids were class 2-3 not too scary. Instructor were good in directing where to go and went over safety protocols. Was a bit disappointed tho because when I checked in on Yelp I was supposed to get a free picture and they didn't take one of our raft!!

    I've been going here for a few years now and I absolutely love it. The guides are what really make the experience wonderful. They're always fun. I've always been treated extremely well by them.

    What a thrill and a amazing wow factor! If your up for the challenge definitely check out Whitewater Challengers and have a fantastic Whitewater rafting experience. So I was hesitant at first but I was glad to join a group of friends at the Poconos for an adventure of a lifetime. The staff at Whitewater Challengers were all nice. Check in was easy, our group leader basically confirmed all of our attendance and we were then giving life jackets and escorted via bus to the river. Once we arrived at the rafting site, we each picked a boat and was off to sail the seas for 5 hours. A half hour was spent eating lunch. The experience was awesome in the river and I felt safe knowing that staff was traveling around us in separate canoes just to make sure that we were okay. Overall the rapids were a big thrill, the views of the mountains were breathtaking and the water gun fights had me reliving my childhood. If your into outdoor activities like camping, paintball and whitewater rafting check out Whitewater Challengers and have the time of your life!!

    My friend group! Sid is the guy all the way in the back doing to the bear claw (ask him what it means)

    Yeah... my friend group was THAT group...we tipped over and fell into the water... BUT it was epic and we had NO regrets! All the staff are very friendly and everything seems very organized! This was our first time ever rafting and honestly we were pretty scared! But our instructor made the whole experience very safe and smooth! Also be careful, you will get WET and ur clothes will stink afterwards! Also invest in some water shoes they are a lifesaver! Our guide, Sid, was the BOMB! Without him the rafting trip would've been NOT worth the money! He was SUPER nice and was really funny! He made us feel really comfortable and made our trip really amazing! He even taught us about the history of the river and showed us a lot of really beautiful waterfalls! Even when our raft tipped over and the majority of us fell out, he stayed calmed and managed to rescue us very swiftly! So if you didn't get the point already... you should DEFINITELY get this guy as your guide! PS. The waters were the HIGHEST they have ever been on the day we went! (Which is probably why we tipped over) The waters are usually really really calm! Also this review is for FAMILY STYLE RAFTING! We paid 44.50 per person!

    This is an awesome rafting place . I had a group of 5 people and we went in one raft. It was very nice the river has many rocks but it made it fun and our raft was going fast. We had 2 guides and it's good to have them because in case anything happens like any one falling of raft they are there. They also gave us cues to when to make certain turns in river because it is rocky river . One thing Is you can't wear crocks . You need sneakers or swimmer shoes . I ended up buying swim shoes which U can buy at their store for 12.99$ the whole trip is 5 hours long but super fun. You get one stop and u can swim there. It's very scenic. There is a photographer who takes pics of the rafts too. And it's 13.95$ for 2 pictures. Great times and lots of rapids .

    Jordan and Kirk who are the guides are the best part of this adventure. They were enthusiastic, friendly and professional. They both deserve raises and promotions for making sure we were safe and trying to have a best possible time ever. We thank them for their great service on the day we went June 28, 2020. They made the adventure. I would recommend if you do this, have Jordan and Kirk lead your group.

    We had two terrific days. Cycling Saturday and rafting sunday. I was thoroughly impressed with the organization of their operations from entry to the parking lot through the check-in and departure on the shuttle to the cycling trailhead. Our driver Joe Z, was excellent in explaining the best places to stop along the route and exactly where to go for our pickup. Same excellent organization for our rafting. Our guides gave us the confidence that We would be in good hands on the river. We took the family float as this was our first experience as a family. We had great time and felt very comfortable. Our guides were terrific. Bob, Bob, Kerron, and Brandon. Bob inspired me to buy a harmonica when I get home today.

    Snack bar and store

    I took two of my teen girl scouts to one of WWC scout weekends. The facilities were very well maintained. They have a new shower house with about 12 private shower rooms. They have a flush toilet house and a compostable toilet house. Both were clean. Their camp store had a lot of supplies such as fire wood, great fire starters and water shoes (for those who forgot theirs.) There is a snack bar as well. It even sells coffee for those who need a fix in the morning. The site was amongst trees and was well maintained. We had a large area for our tent. It was easy to set up on despite arriving in the dark. They had a night worker who rode around on golf cart until 2am. She came by and introduced herself and checked in periodically. I felt very comfortable and found the whole staff helpful. The white water rafting was very organized. The staff was very knowledgable and attentive. We were upgraded to the level 2-3 rapid experience. We were nervous at first since the boats usually run with 4-7 riders and we were only a boat of 3. My teens are petite. The guides continuously checked in with us and made sure we were doing well. We had a fabulous time! We had no trouble navigating the rapids. I would HIGHLY suggest White Water Challengers!! I have been to other tubing/rafting outfitters and WWC was my nest experience so far.

    The Lehigh River is a gem…read more The staff at WhiteWater Adventures is very unprofessional. On the van trip to the put in the driver and the safety boater loudly disscussed payroll issues, lunch issues with the on site café and their co workers. These two were audiable to us sitting in the back of the van. Once we got to the Lehigh River, I had hoped the staff would be more professional. I was wrong. Their behavior got worse. The Trip Leader, a man named Jake, openly swore. The staff dissed the customers. I understand that their needs to be an evaluation before a river trip. This wasn't an evaluation of skills. The staff were making fun of the customers. The Lehigh River is a gem. Just find another company to explore it with.

Check in, safety briefing, bus ride, rafting, swimming, lunch, rafting, swimming and final bus ride. Once back you cab change to dry clothes and hit the snack bar for food and libations. Big barn fire to hang around and chat. We were a group of 7 adults and had no problem all being in one boat. The family ride was very easy and controllable with few places to get hungup ( rocks, trees or underpass) There are guides in front, back and throughout to keep everyone safe and moving along. Overall we had a really good time rafting, paddling and having water fights with other boaters and the pirates. Watershoes a must, bring water to drink and water guns or canons to defend yourself. The lunch was all you could eat- hot dogs, PBJ's, chips, salad and water or lemonade. Can't wait to try a more challenging adventure next time. Enjoy!

    If you read the previous review on here, I had the exact same experience last Saturday…read more We drove over 1 hr to get to zombie paintball. Got to the venue at 7:30 our tickets weren't until 830 so we got food. I didn't know they had food, we were going to go grab food and come back. The french fries were amazing! They were hand cut, but they only had two people working the stand. Then within minutes only one person. It got very backed up. Cheeseburgers were What you'd expect. The hot apple cider was warmed on a coffee pot type machine, it took forever. I had to wait and come back for it. The food was decently priced. The only thing I thought was crazy about the pricing was: they were selling one full Smore kit for three dollars! I could buy the marshmallows, graham crackers, and the chocolate for just a little over that. You could also get a pint of apple cider for four dollars or a small Styrofoam cup full for three dollars. Get the jug. We got in line at 8:15. Same situation with the 2 lines and no one knowing how to work them properly. We should have just got the tickets at the door, would have been in faster. One lady around us, son was working that night. She asked to speak with the owner. The owner said they knew what they were doing with the 2 lines. Definitely not! We didn't get on till after 9:30! The ride itself was decent. Only took 10 mins to go through even though the workers will tell you it takes 20-25 mins. You get 100 paintballs, but that's enough. There are only 7-8 real actors. The rest are props. They have a fake simulation on the radio and you have to watch a DVD before going on the ride. Overall it's cute, but a Once and done type of ride.

    My family and I actually had a pleasant experience here. The dark side event was well planned and…read morethought out. Every turn had you ready to jump and the actors did a good job in surprising you. Definitely check out the dark side haunted house. Now for the zombie paintball that everyone is complaining about, listen fact of the matter is that this is the most popular attraction overall so of course the wait is going to be annoying. I went through the haunted house at 7 got out by 720 went to the zombie paintball right away waited about 15 min and then I began. Personally speaking it was fun, yes it's not slot of zombie actors, mostly props but it's still plenty of fun and although zombies don't drive... who wouldn't want to shoot paintballs at moving cars? Just shoot and have fun. Everyone who worked there overall was great. Thank you for a wonderful time. Will be back next year.
