The highlight of our trip. The guides are all really nice, fun and know their stuff. Our guide “Miami” was so cool. Definitely would return.

“The Rev” Dean was such a great guide! He made it feel super safe but at the same time exciting. He is very experienced and made it a total blast. Not to mention it’s extremely beautiful on the peaceful parts!

My husband and I as well as our two kids ages 10 and 12 had a blast on our rafting trip. Our guide, TJ, was awesome! He was friendly, pleasant, informative, fun, and safe! He let us “ride the bull”, surf a rapid, and take a detour which added more length and rapids to our rafting trip. Thank you Smoky Mountain Outdoors and TJ for a good time! Would highly recommend.

My wife and I had an amazing time white water rafting. My wife was very apprehensive about doing the trip but, our guide, Hayes, put her at ease and we both found the trip highly enjoyable. Highly recommended.

I booked the rafting experience with Smokey Mtn Outdoors for our family trip. We had a great time. Like is said in the description, it was appropriate for our youngest kid, 9. Our trip was at 11am and our guide was young but confident. She explained everyhting clearly and we felt comfortable. Towards the end, the kids were able to jump into the river and swim around near the raft. Other companies had a shorter trip, but we were able to travel a little farther than them down river, so our trip with SMO was longer. We would definitely recommend this experience with anyone looking for a little adventure in your Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge travels. Tip: purchase a cell phone water proof pouch so you can take pictures at the end.

My boyfriend and I got the combo package of zip line and rafting and so happy we did. We both never went rafting like this before and so glad we did. Our guide “The Rev” Dean was awesome! Very knowledgeable and personable. We were with two other couples and we all got to share stories and got to do some fun crazy stuff on the river. Every time we go visit we are going to be rafting as often as we can. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

This was my second time going rafting with SMO and as before, I enjoyed my trip. We did the upper river and my best friend and her son even enjoyed it being their first time. Noah you were amazing!

My teenage sons really wanted to go white water rafting while on our family trip to Tennessee. Mom was a little more nervous but I'm so glad I went as it was an amazing experience! Reverend Dean the Dunking Machine was a superb guide! His years of expertise and guidance made me feel safe and we were even able to have a little fun on the river by going 'backward" and "spinning'. As first-time rafters this was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Great experience! "Rev" Dean was an awesome tour guide. He was entertaining, told us the history of the area and kept us safe while having a great time. Wooly!

We had a great experience from beginning to end. Check-in was quick and seamless. Our guide, Dean, was entertaining, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I highly recommend including this in your trip to the Gatlinburg area!

This is what we called our senior citizens white water rafting trip. My 58th birthday and other than my son I was the youngest :) It was so fun, even my husband who can't swim a lick faced his fears and did great. No one fell out of the boat, you have the option to get into a spin on the rapids which we did 2 times. That was fun. The guides are well trained. We had Alex (female) she was very good at guiding us down the river and full of knowledge about the area.. Def reccommend as a thing to do while in Tennessee will be going again.. Hubby says No been there done that I am good. Buy the pictures best 50$ you will spend on your trip!!

We had such a fun time on the upper we rebooked our lower to do the upper a second time. Both our guides were great and took us through the class 3 and 4 rapids without any issues. If you are in the area snd thinking you want to go rafting book them. Over 30 years in business.
