SO MUCH FUN! I say that even as I fell over twice! Took my whole family, kids 16,12 and 10, they never crashed?. Our rafting guide Dan was awesome! We will be coming back! Thanks for a (safe) great day!

We were there Friday the 13th and they offered face paint. They are knowledgeable whether to wear a wetsuit or just a splash jacket. The safety talk at the beginning is informative and helpful. We had a blast and would definitely do it again!

Absolutely awesome trip. We rafted the Lower Yough with Pat. Great tour guide! We are up in years so not as quick and flexible almost, but he worked with us. Water was great. Lots of good historic and humorous commentary. Pat made this an adventure we will remember and talk about for years. We must do it again. The scheduling and everything about this adventure was super smooth.

The experience was Awsome. This is our second year in a row and will probably be a yearly occurrence for us. The guide Noah was Awsome and knew the River like the back of his hand as well as very knowledgeable about the area and white water. Next year we are stepping up to the upper. Definitely worth your time and money.

When we arrived at WWA we had to change our reservations. We had to change from one two person kayak and one one person kayak to a second two person kayak. The staff was very eager to assist with the change. We were driven to the launch area and were quickly given a safety brief and began our day. The two guides were very friendly, helpful and eager to engage the guests in conversations. While working our way down the river the two guides ensured everyone was having no issues and continued to engage in conversations. We stopped midway for our lunch a wrap , apple and water (turkey and ham wrap). The wrap was good. Nothing fancy but fueled us up for the second half of the river. I would have liked more meat or less of a wrap but it was good.As I'm dealing with multiple health issues it would have been nice at the river exit spot if I and my wife didn't have to haul our kayak up a hill to the trailer but we managed.In all we enjoyed our journey and discussed returning in the fall for a river run with the fall foliage. I recommend WWA!

We were admittedly a little nervous about booking our first ever white water rafting trip, but the folks at White Water Adventures had us covered. Their skilled, funny, and super informative raft guides really shined, helping us navigate the rapids of the Youghiogheny river. Our guide Alex was especially fun, cracking jokes and providing historical info about the area, and even teaching us a couple of tricks we pulled off on the rapids. Great people, gorgeous scenery, and unforgettable fun times! We'll be back next year to try our hands at the more challenging Upper Yough trip.

We had an awesome time on the Lower Yough white water trip. It was a perfect mix of exciting white water rapids and stretches of calmer river to relax and enjoy the amazing scenery. Alex was THE BEST guide. We were impressed with his knowledge of the river as well as interesting facts about the area (awwww yeah!! - he was famous for saying). Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or river experience!!

We were given a leaky rental Duckie on the Middle Yough float. The floor bladder in the Ducky was flat and out of air within in a few minutes after launch. There was no way to go back. We were forced to sit in the Duckie bottom 3 or 4 inches lower than normal. This resulted in sitting on 4 inches of river water the whole way, with NO padding for our bottoms, hanging up on most rapids that should have been easy to slide over, and worse of all BOUNCING OUR BUTTS on every rock that was two to four inches below the surface. VERY PAINFUL. We were very lucky we were able to muscle over the rocks, not lose paddles or get separated from the boat.The consequences could have been much worse. When we finally arrived at take out, totally exhausted and Hypothermic, shivering and sore, we needed to stop at our hotel for a hot shower and change to dry clothes before returning our paddles.When I did arrive back at the shop, Ann was quite upset that we forced her to wait around a half hour for our return, even though they had picked up the Ducky and seen the condition of the flat bladder. No concern for our safety or comfort, no apology for renting faulty equipment.We will never use White Water Adventurers again, and I am pretty sure my wife will NEVER do a float trip on any river again.

Had the coolest time on the lower yough. The guides absolutely rocked. Our guide Jesse was hilarious and had us doing some awesome tricks! He was extremely knowledgeable made everything look so easy! I definitely would recommend him and will definitely be hoping to request him if possible for the upper yough.

This is a well-run outfit. We had an enjoyable raft trip on the lower Youghiogheny River. Our guide, Mackenzie, was excellent. There are multiple options for outfitters and guides in Ohiopyle, but we will be using White Water Adventures again when we return. Highly recommended.

I booked this rafting trip for me and my boyfriends anniversary. He didn't end up coming because we broke up earlier in the week. I wasn't about to miss this opportunity, so I took my best friend! We had the absolute BEST time rafting down the Upper Yough!!! What a rush!! This was only our second time white water rafting, the first being pretty beginner rapids. It's so beautiful to show yourself just how resilient you can be. Both mentally and physically. Extra shoutout to our guide Justin with the coolest banana party shirt riding with Justin I felt both safe, and comfortable. He gives wonderful directions and was really nice to spend the day with. The other guides were also great and super friendly!! If you're on the fence about it, JUST DO IT Feel the rush!! Thanks again guys and I will 10/10 be coming back to raft with y'all!

Justin is a kind, knowledgeable, and fun guide. He is definitely doing what he loves. Out of our group of five, four of us had never been white water rafting before. This experience is something we had always wanted to try, so we figured it was safe to chose the most popular rafting trip. Safety and education is their number one priority. We enjoyed our trip so much we are looking forward to coming back next Summer ?.

I had the most amazing experience going down the river thanks to my incredible guide Pat.10/10 would recommend Pat as a guide to anyone wanting to go down the river, kept us laughing while providing great detail on each rapid while we went down. Pat did a great job at making all of us feel safe while giving us the time of our lives. You can tell how passionate he is about his job. Can't wait for my next rafting trip and I will be requesting Pat as my guide.

I highly recommend using white water adventures for your white water rafting experience! Me and 3 other adults went out on lower yough. Three of us had never done it before. I felt like it was a good beginner course. We were mostly first timers. We all agreed we would definitely give upper yough a go next time with our same guide - Lucas! He was awesome and gave us a very fun and safe experience. For the lower reviews saying this place isn’t safe, I would definitely disagree. We had someone go off the raft and just as fast as we were freaking out (and also laughing) our guide was getting him back on the raft unscathed. I really appreciated his positive and fun energy. Also worth noting, we went on a rainy day which ended up being SO enjoyable. There were a lot of kids with parents going out at the same time as us so I would say this is definitely a kid friendly float. I honestly can’t say enough about our experience it was a great way to spend a day!
