I went with a group of 14 and we had the best time with Rolling Thunder River Co! Some of us were in the "take it easy" rafts, but I was lucky to be in the "fast and furious" raft with a GREAT guide named "Fancy"! She made the whole trip a lot of fun, and didn't lose a soul... More

This is the only rafting company we will use for now on. Rafted the Nantahala this week and there were problems with the water levels 2 days in a row, not the fault of rolling thunder. They still let us raft so the kids wouldn't be dissappointed and they had a great time anyway. Plus rolling thunder gave us a... More

My family and I rafted down the Nantahala river for our first time white water rafting ever with Rolling Thunder river company last Summer. We had an amazing time, awesome experience, kids loved it and want to do it again. Our guide was fun and made us feel safe while having a wonderful adventure. We will definitely recommend Rolling Thunder... More

My family and I rafted down the natahala for our first time with rolling thunder river company past weekend. We had a wonderful experience and our guide Vince was patient and very informative. We felt safe and well guided through our 2 hour adventure that day. We will recommend rolling thunder to everyone for their natahala rafting trip.

Boomer was our guide and he was the bomb! It was our first time rafting but we were all fit and he gave us a show. He was sweet, funny and the life saver for the day. Luckily none of us needed the saving. We were "clean up" on the river that day and had a blast! We have since... More

We had a "gurls thang" retreat and we decided we wanted to hit the river and concurred it. So where else do you go to attack the rapids but to "Rolling Thunder River Company." So glad we did it our guide was so wonderful. He was patient with us and explained the rowing perfectly. He made us feel like we... More

I very highly recommend Rolling Thunder! Our family had a fantastic time and their prices are terrific. The guides are a lot of fun and do some fun stuff on the river that the other bigger rafting companies won't do. And they also offer a CD of professional pics of your rafting experience that is very reasonably priced. We will... More

We ladies had a retreat in the mountains and went to ride the river on Monday7/23. This is the best place to go, they have the best guides to take you down the 8 mile river and they make your trip a blast! Great guide Alex "Marty the one man Party"! We never stopped laughing and we never got stuck... More
