Went down the Nantahala out of Rolling Thunder's Bryson City, NC location. Had a blast. Water was cold but we got wet suits so we were in great shape. Took the Duckie and the follow a guide options. We didn't have a guide in our boat but followed a guide in another group's white water raft down. Enough guidance to... More

Rolling Thunder is a great company. They are thorough and serious about safety, which is a good first for any whitewater rafting trip. The bus ride is quite long, but once in the water the bus follows the group the whole trip, which does give you a measure of relief for that "just in case" moment. Our guide, Ariana, seemed... More

My boyfriend and I rafted the Ocoee River with Rolling Thunder over Labor Day Weekend, and we can't stop talking about what a great experience it was. Our guide, Ted, was super knowledgeable and fun to talk to, and just made the overall experience fabulous. The Ocoee is incredibly beautiful, and the crew at Rolling Thunder knew how to make... More

We were given great instructions by our guide and he made sure we all knew what to do and when. It was even more fun than... More

We read the reviews before we booked. The write-ups were spot on. Vince was our captain. He is perfectly cast for a river guide. He went through the safety procedures and made us feel confortable before we four middle-agers climbed into the raft. "We put in to Class 4 rapids" he said. And we did. All our anxiety was gone!...

Even though the trip is a little further, it is worth it to raft with this outfit. They are courteous, very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! They also recommend good restaurants in the area for the famished after a few hours on the river. I will definitely be planning a full river trip with Rolling Thunder River Company in the future!

We planned this outing as part of our return trip from Perdido Key, Fl. It was a little out of our way but well worth the drive. Our guide was "Gator" and he was fantastic- FUNNY, informative, concerned about safety, and very knowledgable. Went with my wife and two kids (13 & 11)- all LOVED it. We did the "Double... More
