 Verified Most beautiful scenery
I went to celebrate my bf birthday he’s been talking about this for some time. It was the best time, our tour guy Scotty was amazing. Since it was his birthday he let us pick where we wanted to sit. The scenery was beautiful, the water was so fresh and there was so much thrill and adventure! We will definitely be coming back,

 Verified Rafting trip on Ocoee River
We had an amazing time. I had made a booking mistake which was totally my fault, and the team worked with us to make sure we got onto the river without issue. They were very friendly and accommodating. Our guide Brett was awesome. We had a blast on the Ocoee.

 Verified Great Expereince - 100% recommended
it was a great experience even for first timers. Our guide (Jordan) was amazing, and he put on a show and made us have a lot of fun during the trip down the river. Definitely worth the day-trip, plus the fee is very reasonable.

 Verified yep, totally recommend
We celebrated 2 birthdays in our family by rafting the middle Ocoee with Cal. While we've been lucky enough to enjoy rafting on multiple rivers --in California, Uganda, Chile…this trip stood out. We've never "surfed" before--but Cal managed to get us in surfing position multiple times--what fun. He was adept at steering, fun to hang out with and seemed to like all the rapids (this one is my favorite, no this one, no this one). He was clearly closely tracking the other boats--helping to ensure that everyone was safe. Really a terrific guide (hi Cal's boss) and really a terrific guy (hi Cal's mom). We'll definitely recommend, and hope to go again before long.

 Verified Request Wild Man!!
Did a full day rafting tour with Rolling Thunder and had Wild Man as our guide. Could not have been a better experience and will definitely be thinking about the next time we can go back. Wild Man was awesome, to say the least. Was able to guide 6 of us through some of the best parts of the river to have the craziest experience. If you are questioning who to request, definitely request him.

 Verified Full Day Ocoee: Wildman
This was my third trip on the Ocoee with Rolling Thunder and my second with Wildman (Jack). If you’re looking for the best day on the water, request him and you’re sure to have a great time. His river knowledge and skills are second to none and let’s just say he’s earned his title for a reason. Both Rolling Thunder and Wildman are the best. Book them, you won’t regret it.
