We recently completed a 6 day tour of the Katy Trail with Wilderness Voyageurs and had an amazing experience. Our guides, Teri and Alex, reside in one of the small towns near the trail and were able to provide insightful background of the history, culture, flora, and fauna of the area. They took great care of us across the entire tour and made certain all of our needs were met and questions were answered. The lodging and meals, including a winery visit, were first-rate and provided us with further understanding of the communities and history along the Katy Trail. The tour group size was small enough to allow us to make meaningful social connections with fellow riders from all over the United States. We have memories from this adventure that will last us a lifetime. We would recommend this tour, and our guides Teri and Alex, to anyone who might be interested in biking the Katy Trail.

Great place to stop when in ohiopyle. I wish they had more selection though. It is hard to find true outdoor stores in the Laurel Highlands and I hate having to got to the city for what I need.

Really easy to rent a bike here, and it's a short 5 minute ride away from the GAP trail head. At $8 an hour, the rate really can't be beat. The bikes are good quality with gears, suited for the leafy/rocky trail terrain. The staff is pretty helpful with pointing out good bike trails in the area, and finding a bike suited to your needs. Highly recommend checking it out for scenic bike rides in the fall!

Paul and Jake are not only outstanding guides, they are really nice people.Having lived in Brooklyn, NY for 19 years and always having a car, I was wowed when Jake drove from Jersey City hauling a trailer behind the large van. He stayed cool, calm , and focused navigating the George Washington bridge, while a tractor trailer passed us and cut in front of us with little room to spare. That was a wow moment!Although we had rainy weather , thanks to Ophelia, the tour participants all had great attitudes. Nobody whined. It appeared everyone had a great time.Thank you Paul and Jake!Ann

The country we rode through is outstanding. I would ride the Needles section everyday if I could. Guides were jolly on the spot. All was smooth! Fine accommodations, especially ranch in the Badlands. Peaceful week!

Staff was very friendly. Guides were very professional and friendly. The place itself is very nice. The only thing that our group noticed was that they shouldn’t have 12-13 rafts on one tour. Most of the time we just waited for everyone else to join us. They could have split such a huge group into 2-3 groups with more guides so we wouldn’t have to be sitting around on the raft for majority of the time. But as mentioned by our guide, they’re having a hard time hiring more river guides. No one wants to work. But overall nice staff nice place.

What a great outfit! Professional, organized, safety-first, and friendly. My brother and I went on the lower Yough fully-guided rafting trip which lasted just under three hours. The guides taught us a few things before taking us to quiet waters to learn more, and then off we went! I recommend sport straps for glasses, swimming sun shirts, a water bottle, and water shoes/sandals. Be prepared to get wet and have a great time. They go rain or shine. You'll leave your phone in your car and your car keys at the Tour desk. Our guide Zack was amazing but they all seemed great. Highly recommend.

We loved our guide, Brian, so much. Our rafting trip was delightful and a much needed repreive from the usual work grind. We felt transported and transformed after a relaxing day paddling. We really loved swimming in the river and doing the little mini hike up to cucumber falls. The picnic lunch from the local restaurant was a delicious surprise. We definitely recommend that you check our this activity, and if you like a more interesting adventure, go for the deluxe trip. We'll be back!

Had a great time with some friends and the bikes were in great working order. However, I question the quality of rafts from this outfitter. We got a double ducky and had nothing but problems. Bottom of raft started and built up a large amount of water (not from splashing/tipping) and also very hard to control like it had extra weight/momentum (felt like controlling a barge). I confirmed with experienced rafters later that this is NOT normal and there were parts that were most likely underinflated. Our friends in the other rafts did not have these problems either. This company needs to take better care of their rafting equipment.

Great time! Wasn't to rough for the little ones. They take pictures (you can't bring your phone). Two different places take your pictures so you have to go to the other place to get the other pictures. I recommend getting them 1st at WVR on the USB drive and then Ohiopyle photography will put theirs on the same drive. Cheaper than buying either set online.

This was our 3rd bike trip with Wilderness Voyagers. They have it down to a science! We did the PA Pine Creek and Ghost Town trails. Everything was top notch, from the lodging experiences (especially liked the Nature Inn in PA Bald Eagle State Park!) and gourmet lunches, all prepared by our guides - Jesse and Brian. First day was on the Lower (rhymes with flower) Trial - it rained "cats & dogs". They had towels ready for us at the end to dry off the water and mud, but then DID LAUNDRY FOR US!! We didn't ask for laundry service - we were prepared for rain, but we were muddy and so soaking wet, the clothes wouldn't have dried overnight. They cheerfully offered it as they wanted to also clean the towels that we used. What service! Everything was ready at breakfast the next day. I could go on-and-on! We'll definitely be back for a 4th ride. You get to see things you would never even think of and meet a great group of like-minded (bicycle) people.

During our visit to OhioPyle, we had the pleasure of booking a white water rafting trip with Wilderness Voyagers, and it turned out to be an incredible experience. Our guide, Ben, deserves special recognition for his exceptional skills, professionalism, and the thrilling adventure he provided. Ben's expertise in river guiding was evident from the moment we embarked on our rafting journey. Not only did he prioritize our safety at all times, but he also had an extensive knowledge of the river and knew exactly which lines to choose, ensuring an exciting and exhilarating ride for everyone. His confidence and skill as a guide truly enhanced our white water rafting experience. The next day, we decided to explore the area further and rented two bikes from Wilderness Voyagers to ride along the local trail. The entire process was seamless, thanks to the helpful and friendly staff. They assisted us in selecting the right bikes and provided us with all the necessary information and gear for a successful ride. The bike ride itself was absolutely fantastic. We covered an impressive 22 miles, taking in the breathtaking scenery of OhioPyle and enjoying every moment of it. The bikes were in excellent condition, and the trail was well-maintained, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the surroundings. Throughout our interactions with Wilderness Voyagers, we were consistently impressed by the level of service provided. The staff members were always ready to assist, offering valuable recommendations and going the extra mile to ensure our needs were met. Their helpfulness and friendliness added to the overall positive experience. Our time with Wilderness Voyagers was nothing short of unforgettable. From the heart-pounding white water rafting adventure guided by Ben to the enjoyable bike ride on the local trail, every aspect of our experience was top-notch. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of their services and the professionalism of their staff. If you're seeking thrilling outdoor adventures and exceptional service in OhioPyle, Wilderness Voyagers should be at the top of your list. Whether you're looking for a white water rafting trip, bike rentals, or other outdoor activities, they have you covered. We are already counting down the days until we can return for another incredible adventure with Wilderness Voyagers.
