I will remember this for the rest of my life! It was so much fun! I was grinning the entire time. We went later at night and although the air was cold the water was warm and it wasn’t uncomfortable. Our river guide Jay was amazing- he made sure we got all the best waves, made us feel super safe, and was personal and funny. I have nothing negative to say about this company. I would 12/10 recommend this experience and company to anyone!

Super fun and wild. Nothing my 8 yr old son couldn't handle - he loved it. "Better than roller coasters." You will get soaked. Went first week of August and water wasn't too cold. Swam in river for a bit. Very professional operation. Full changing station and hot showers.

Outstanding! As someone who has rafted the Ocoee River, this was certainly no letdown. Initially, it looks like your average river, but that doesn’t last long. You raft the tide as it comes in, and soon it becomes towering waves. At one point we hit a series of 5 or 6 waves that were over 7 feet tall! There was even one wave more than 15 feet, yet nobody fell out of our raft or any of the others. I also personally recommend the 2 hour trip because it gives you the full experience without overdoing it. If you happen to make this a part of your trip it will be time very well spent.

We had a blast at the River Runners. We liked how the staff and owner made sure everyone would be safe, as the weather wasn't looking so great. The owner came on a seperate boat with us on the water to keep an eye on everyone and would be there to help. They were very well organised, nice, polite and informative. Great experience. Shout out to Rachel our guide, she did an excellent job.

Our group of 8 had a blast doing this excursion. Our trip was during the highest tide of the month and the rapids generated by the total bore were intense. On this excursion this company had 7 boats in the water with one of them being a safety/rescue boat. The captains all had radios and kept in contact with each other as needed. Very professional tour company. The staff were great and the zodiac captains really knew the river system. Going with this company will likely give you the best experience as they are located down stream of the rest of the companies so you likely get the longest trip. Once we returned they had hot chocolate and cookies for us. They also have shower facilities for easy cleanup. Our boat had a GoPro camera mount on the console so bring your waterproof GoPro!
