10/10 would recommend and come backIt was my friend’s and I first time white water rafting and now I can’t wait to go again when the season starts next year. It was a thrilling adventure and so many scenic views to enjoy.Adam, our guide was the best and he was well knowledgeable. We for sure wouldn’t of had such a fun time without him. Thank you again Adam if you read this.

Had a fantastic time! Scott set us up and got some fantastic photos (highly recommend their photo package - low price and lots of pictures)! Adam was our guide and couldn't have asked for better - he made sure we got the most spins and excitement. Recommended for everyone, including disabilities (I had a broken foot)!

Was a good time . Adam our guide was great !! I am pretty bummed no pictures were taken like the ones I had seen the day before of another group while signing up . There is photographers at the very end of the ride that snap some but none close up and not as good as the ones I’d seen the day before . And their prices are stupid . Paid $50 + tax for 3 pictures that I wanted. Or it was $20 a piece for individuals .It was my daughters first time rafting so it sucks but what can ya do. We had fun.

Welcome to the home of the class V bus ride and class III river rafting ?We had so much fun on our fully guided rafting tour (5 adults, 1 kid). We loved that we could support this small local business vs all the corporate companies.Everyone from Raging Rivers made sure we all felt comfortable and knew what to expect before going on the river. We got our safety equipment on and adjusted at their site and then loaded on to the bus to the entry point. Our guide and bus driver had us cracking up during the ride.Chris was an excellent rafting guide and we got some good practice strokes in before the first class 3+ rapids. Had some good rock bounces, spins, and everyone got splashed. Water was a bit cold but not too bad. Only stayed chilly in short areas where the sun can’t make it through the trees. Worst thing was the guide wouldn’t turn up the water temp for us.During the “float” time Chris told us about the area and the river and answered our questions. One of our crew braved a quick swim trip in the water and we learned how to get someone back in.Pix turned out great and we got them all on a USB drive to share. Highly recommend fully guided rafting and pix package. Raging Rivers team is awesome.

Had a blast here and definitely would recommend. The photos are awesome and we had such a great time. The water was freezing, but felt great with it being so hot outside. If you want a crazy fun ride Adam is the best guide!

Who would leave someone on a river without a raft? this place! My duckies had a hole in it part way down river, called outfitter for replacement. 40 minutes later, someone met me in the side of the river and took my duckie. Told me to ride in boat with someone else 200 yards down river to get replacement boat. Half mile down river, through rapids with 2 people in single duckies we found the 2 employees laying in replacement duckies on their phone. I was then given a double duckies to paddle by myself down the river. He said oh, it is much better than single. Will never use this place again!

Update Summer 2023 Trip: Lowering the stars to 2 . I wanted to lower it to 1 but our guides put an effort to make us as comfortable as they could so 2 stars for the guides . I called Raging Rivers to reserve a late afternoon trip and they told me that there is nothing available for the day I was requesting so I decided to book a day later. But then I got a call later in the afternoon that they can squeeze me and my party of 9 people for the day I requested .Little did I know that they were not planning to have any trip in the afternoon due to heavy rain. Not sure why they booked me. Probably because they didn't want to lose money.As soon as we got into the raft it started to drizzle which became a heavy downpour later. It got really cold for all of us. Our guide had to stop in the middle just so that we can get a break from the rain . On the river I didnt see any rafts by any other company. I inquired about it from our guide and he told me that all the other companies might have cancelled the later afternoon rafting because of rain. I called two other companies and they told me the same that because of the rain they cancelled the later afternoon trips.I found out later that the original owner is not there anymore due to some health issues That probably explains the quality of customer service going down.2021 Review:Tons of rafting companies around the Nantahala River and though this company didn't come on top of our web search, but it is one of the best.Prices are much cheaper than others big rafting companies.Ron the owner is very down to earth guy. They go extra mile to make sure you had a blast.Beth our tour guide was awesome.She even taught some of us how to steer a raft.I would definitely be giving them business next time I am in the area.

We have frequented this river for years and utilized this rafting company based on a friends recommendation. Hugely disappointed, one of the duckies would not stay inflated. When we called they said to pull into the next drop off area which we did. When they got there they took the ducky but said they were further down with the other ducky. So 2 people had to get into a one man ducky and ride for half a mile. When we got to the location they had a 2 man ducky which we were not happy with but they were not willing to accommodate the rafter. On top of this they were rude and condescending during each interaction we had with any of the staff. We will be going back to endless river because they always take care of their clients.
