If you’re organizing a group trip to the Smoky Mountains and searching for a fun activity to enjoy together, look no further than our white water excursions on the Pigeon River! We feature a variety of rafting trips that appeal to all ages, ranging from relaxing float trips to action-packed excursions with class III and IV rapids! As a bonus, we offer affordable group rates and a dedicated sales staff for your group of 14 or more people! Here are 4 types of groups who love white water rafting in the Smoky Mountains:

1. Family Reunions

Many folks love planning family reunions in the Smokies, so get the whole gang together for a white water rafting trip that is sure to be a highlight of your reunion! If you have little ones in your family, they can join the fun too! In fact, children only need to be at least 3 years old to go on our Lower Pigeon trip. Meanwhile, the minimum age/weight requirement for our popular Upper Pigeon trip is 8 years old or 70 pounds. If there is someone in your family who can’t swim, there is no need to worry! Safety is our first priority and every guest is issued a type 5, Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device.

2. Corporate Groups for Team Building

Another one of the types of groups who love white water rafting in the Smoky Mountains is corporate groups! White water rafting is the ultimate team-building activity as your team must work together to paddle down the river, maneuver around rocks, and splash down the soaking rapids! Along with our professional guides, each person plays an important role in navigating the raft down the river. This creates a unique bonding experience among your team members and fosters the spirit of working together to achieve a common goal!

3. Church Groups

For those planning a church retreat to the Smokies, don’t miss the joys of white water rafting in the Smoky Mountains! There is nothing like being among the natural wonders of the great outdoors while sharing a rafting adventure with fellow members of your congregation! Our rafting trips are guaranteed to create wonderful memories that you’ll never forget, and many church members return with their family and friends to share the experience of rafting among the spectacular scenery of the Smokies!

4. Youth Groups
