  • 5 star ratingWhat a fabulous experience! I'm an overweight, out-of-shape, middle-aged woman, and I was nervous about whether I could handle white water rafting, or whether they would even have gear to fit me. I shouldn't have worried! Our guide, Isaiah, was so reassuring and made me feel comfortable and safe at every moment, and never... read more

  • 5 star ratingFAMILY FUN FOR ALL AGES! JON HALL WAS AWESOME! First let me say we had 5 people. Ages ranged from 18 to 42 and everyone had a blast! Jon Hall was an awesome and experienced rafter who really seemed to know his stuff. He was there to make sure we had a great time and believe me we all did. We rode the middle part of the river and it was the last ride of the season. Hopefully, we can return someday and ride the complete river. Thank you OAR for such an amazing ride!

  • 5 star ratingJon Hall makes the experience!!! My husband and I went white water rafting on the Ocoee for the first time and had an absolute blast! This was in part due to the nature of the activity but also because Jon made it such an experience! I would highly recommend this operation for white water rafting as the guides will ask you what type of experience you want and ensure that you have that. Whether you want a calm white water rafting experience down the river or you want a more vigorous rafting experience they will make sure it is perfect for you!! It was my first time rafting so I was a little nervous but Jon made sure he put me at ease and allowed us to have an absolutely wonderful rafting experience!! He gave us a a very detailed briefing before hitting the water and continue to give us information as we were on the river and historical facts about the area. Of all the operations available in this area this is definitely the one I would recommend! They are professional from the time you book the trip until the time you leave and there is even a gentleman out taking pictures that you have the option to buy if you choose to.
