Tues. I took my fourth trip down the upper Pigeon River with SMO, and it was better than ever! I can't describe how much fun it is, I grinned and laughed like a little kid (which I'm definitely not) the whole time. In fact even now, days later I'm laughing and grinning, just thinking about my trip. It rained that... More

We just returned from a week-long vacation to the Smokies. The absolute highlight of our trip was White Water Rafting with Smoky Mountain Outdoors down the Pigeon River. First, the cost was phenomenal. It was the most economical activity of our entire trip, and the trip lasted about 3 hours altogether. It was a rainy day, and actually pretty chilly.... More

After reading all the reviews, we were really looking forward to the highlight of our 3 week holiday in the States, White Water Rafting!!

We did the whitewater trip recently with our family including two boys ages 9/11. The trip was an absolute blast. The guides entertained us on the bus ride to the push-off point. Our own guide was fantastic, he spent a lot of time with us teaching us paddling basics, talking to us about safety, and making the trip fun for... More

We were planning our trip to the Smokys for a few months and wanted to work in a white water rafting trip for the family - my wife and myself, 10 year old daughter, 8 year old son. Picked Smoky Mountain Outdoors based on the TA reviews and couldn't have been happier. I'd WWR around 10 years ago and was... More
