I really feel like 5 stars isn't enough. I would 10/10 recommend this. We did the lower river which worked great for us. Grayson was our guide and did an unbelievable job. We can't wait to go back and do it again. The lower had a few mediums size rapids which made it fun and not just a float down the river.

Our party of 7 including kids aged 9-14 with a little whitewater experience had an absolute blast on this adventure down the Upper Pigeon River. Our guide Preston was super experienced and tailor made our experience to maximize the most fun out of the river. Do not pass up this wonderful experience!

such an amazing experience!! my lady and i did the extreme version of the tour, and it was awesome! we got a smaller boat, so we were able to move quicker and whatnot, making for a super exciting experience! our guide was Gabby, and she did an amazing job! if you can, request her for your tour, and you won’t regret it! thank you SMO for an amazing experience

Smokey Mountain Outdoor Rafting gets a definite thumbs up from me! Being on my bucket list for years, of things I have wanted to do, I decided, at the age of 53, to go big or go home, and paid to do the extreme rafting adventure. I was not disappointed at all. Bart was our guide and he was very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging.

Great experience! This was our family's first time rafting and the crew was fantastic. We felt safe the entire time and my daughters can't wait to go again! Our guide, Dan, was helpful and shared fun information about the river with us as we navigated the rapids. The class 4 rapids were a bit too intense for me, but everyone else loved them. The facility was well organized and although they obviously do a large volume of business, it wasn't crowded and the property was clean.
