The perfect combination of peace, beauty, adventure, and ALL the thrills!! All of the guides are great, but special shout out to Ethan, as he is the best of the best! Very knowledgeable in what he does and makes everyone feel like family! 10 out of 10 stars, HIGHLY recommend!!

Great Experience on the Ocoee! - We had amazing day rafting the Ocoee with Cherokee Rafting. We've probably done this trip around 10 times, but this was our first time with Cherokee and we were impressed. They have a great facility with lots of outdoors activities to keep you entertained while you wait. The bathhouse facilities were very clean and all the guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! Our guide Everett has only been guiding for a couple of seasons, but took us through "the juicer" which is something none of our other guides ever mentioned and is a ton of fun if your not too scared to get thrown out of the boat! My brother-in-law and his family also loved their experience with Ethan as their guide.
Can't wait to come back next summer to try out their high adventure trip!

Fantastic Experience!! - Our family thoroughly enjoyed our all day river rafting with Cherokee Rafting. It was such an adrenaline rush on the upper Ocoee especially the Olympic part. Our river guide, Will, was so much fun. He was friendly and made our trip memorable. We felt safe the entire time with him as our guide. We had a blast surfing on the rapids and hanging out in the bathtub. The dinner stop along the river was yummy. We had barbque sandwiches, chips, pasta salad, fruit brownies, and lemonade. This was a great experience today for our family. Thank you, Cherokee Rafting! We will be back!!

Jake & the family Gailey & Lewis - Booking the experience was easy-
Jake, our guide, was fantastic. He was always concerned about our welfare-was a font of information about the area-wonderful eye candy, to be sure. I will definitely book another excursion but with different family members to share the wonderful experience.

Great family time - Six family members went and had a great time. Our guide Micha was knowledgeable and we felt safe with him.
It was a little difficult to get complete sentences out of him when questions were asked. It was mainly a one or two word answer, so after awhile, we quit asking and just enjoyed our time on the water.

Great 4th of July getaway.... - Great day and experience- Our guide Ethan was the absolute best, he went above and beyond. His knowledge of the river and the area was incredible. Make sure he takes you couch surfing.
