I greatly appreciated Zack. He answered questions about the area and we had a great time rafting the Ocoee.

On 08/21/14, four of us well over 60 rafted the Ocoee. Just the day before we had rafted the Nantahala. Chase was our guide, and he was great. I had the misfortune of falling in, and it was the most scared I have been in I can't remember when! Chase had been great about giving safety instructions prior to our entering the river, and he was able to get me safely out of the water. One of the indications of the difference between the two rivers is that on the Nantahala no helmet is required as it is on the Ocoee.

I just rafted with Ocoee Rafting for the 4th time and it was a great experience as always. Our guides were Julie (we get her every time... she is without a doubt the best) and Mike T and they were both great! Everyone at Ocoee Inn & Rafting will take care of you from Lori in the office to each of the guides. We also love staying in their cabins.. we always stay in #15. Thanks for another great weekend & we will see you next year & possibly later this fall.

This year was my 7th trip with Ocoee Inn Rafting. I keep coming back. The guides are very experienced and very personable.

Went to Tennessee for a Youth rafting trip and we ended up going to Ocoee Inn for the rafting. The guides were really nice and funny. Answered any questions that we had and for the people who were first timers, they made them feel at ease and confident. They gave good pre-rafting instructions and everyone got their gear quickly and were checked for safety. Our guide was Chase and he was really cool. He wanted your input on what you would like to do and how. Like if you wanted an easy or wild ride on the rapids. He made it really fun and let us know what was coming up before hand. He also gave us knowledge on the rapid and what to expect. Chase even let us "surf" some of the rapids which got us really wet. We even got to flip our raft which was amazing. You get swim time in the river and get to stop off at a really beautiful creek that led into the river. I definitely recommend requesting Chase since we were the only raft to "surf" any of the rapids and flip our raft. He really listens to what you would like to do. I have been white water rafting a few times and I must say that is was the best experience that I've had yet. They were all professional but knew how to have fun and the rates were awesome considering the more people you have, the cheaper it is . Would love to go again!!

Was referred to Ocoee Inn from my kayaking friends. Was told to request "Julie" for raft guide through a mutual friend. I can't say happy my group of friends and family were to have chosen Ocoee Inn! What a great trip! Everyone was professional from the guides to the outfitters. I can't say enough good things! I have been trying to get my wife to raft for years. As I said, we kayak in a 2 man whitewater kayak but are not to the level to paddle the Ocoee but now she has seen it and she is wanting to try it in the kayak. We will go back just to raft since it was such a fun and exciting trip. We were able to surf/play in the big rapids and felt completely safe. Once again, ask for Julie.

First time whitewater rafting we were very nervous but our guide, Julie, was awesome and put us immediately at ease. She answered all of our questions and offered lots of interesting information along the way - she made it very fun! All of the guides were very knowledgeable of the river, rafting, and surrounding area and we will most definitely go again. Don't be afraid to voice your fears to your guides - THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING and they'll do whatever they can to make you feel more comfortable for you and your family!

The BEST whitewater rafting on the river! When I moved to area a co-worker advised me to know the experience of the guides and time on river- you are not paying to hang out at the rafting building. I've rafted the Arkansas and Nantahala and didn't have that advice...the guide today was Yoda (Todd), who is Awesome and I will go with him again. Great guide who Knows the river, but I am impressed with every guide at this outfitter. Julie and John were guiding other rafts this trip and their customers were all happy too. The equipment and training is excellent. Just completed my 3 rd trip with this outfitter on the middle section, I'm planning to run the upper and middle this summer.

Ran the river on may 31st, water surge faster than what we have normally experienced in the 15 years we have used the Ocoee Inn Rafting, Great Run, Class 3 & 4. Always professional, and the trip is extremely fun. We have taken large groups of 40 - 60 and they can handle it. They have the confidence and experience to keep you safe, while letting the little daredevil in you lose. No doubt we will use them again.

This was our second time with Ocoee Inn. We took our twelve year old daughters because they had never been before. They absolutely loved it and our guide was awesome. They had a lot of fun on the river and the staff was very nice and helpful. They also have a great gift shop. They are located very close to the Ocoee River. They also have an onsite motel and cabins, which looked aged, but were very popular with rafters. We did not stay there on this trip, but will consider it in the future. We had a great time and will use Ocoee Inn again!

Rafting down the river was amazing. The guides are very knowledgable and the experience is one you won't forget. If you're a daredevil, ask for Chase. He's borderline crazy but he knows what he's doing. Safety was his main goal and having a good time was a close second. Expect to get wet, expect to fall in, and expect to have an great time. This is definitely a bucket list activity. Can't wait to go back.

We had a great time white water rafting this weekend! The Ocoee Inn Rafting Company was professional, punctual, and exactly as advertised! A great experience through and through, and an awesome value. John G made sure the we all had a great time! We would go back again!
