What a great experience! This is a great opportunity to float or kayak the Cheat. We chose to tube... very relaxing! They provide tubes and life jackets, and drive you to the drop off location, and you float down the river until you get back to where you started! This is a great opportunity for family fun or team building, and is good for wide range of ages. There's a cute campsite nearby with really affordable overnight rates if you want to make a weekend of it! read more

Great time floating the Cheat, even if we did it during a tornado watch! The guys kayaked upstream and helped pull us through the worst part of the storm. We floated the rest of the way back. Life long memories were made! read more

See all

Great short rapids trip with knowledgeable guides and a high safety standard. Fun thing to do if you are in the area--highly recommend!

We had such a great time on our white water rafting trip that we came back and did a tubing trip shortly afterwards. My only complaint, which isn't the fault of the company, is the massive amount of gnats at the location. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip enjoyable. The photos they took were great and worth the money. I do wish I had brought my own phone ins waterproof case for pictures at certain spots that they didn't capture. (Eg - Jumping off rocks) read more

I love honesty. These guys encouraged me to go from the 11 mile trip to the 4 mile canoe trip based on the water level. It was a perfect trip with lots of swimming and fishing with my 5 year old. Will definitely return. read more

My cousin and I took the Express rafting trip (2 hours on the water) and had such a great time! Sam was our guide and he was a lot of fun and told us about a lot of the history on the way to the launch site and once we were on the water. I can't wait until I can take my husband and kids here on another trip! read more

Incredibly knowledgeable staff who were very accommodating of our large group. I coordinated a trip for 25 people.There were rave reviews from every participants. BOA makes it easy with a single (very affordable) price that includes rafting, 2 spots to jump off rocks, and a picnic lunch on the banks. We took a route of class 2 and 3 rapids that were great for beginners. They also showed us some "tricks" which made it a great trip for those with a bit more experience. They offer 100+ professional photos for a flat rate of $30. Definitely worth it for large groups. Highly recommend for any large group, individual, beginners and more experienced! read more

We had a great time on the river. I messed up our reservation time, twice, and staff were so gracious and accommodating. The kayaks were in great condition. We loved West Virginia! read more

The staff are personable and very knowledgable. Safety is number one, and fun is a close second. Declan is a particularly excellent guide! He was eager to share info about other local attractions as well. Wear wet shoes or sneakers. Flip flops are no good because they can get lost easily in the water. Also, cotton clothes will bog you down. We felt comfortable in bathing suits and underarmour-style attire. The guides do appreciate gratuity. Standard is approximately $20 per boat. Thanks for making our trip an adventure! read more

Kind, helpful, great location, family-friendly. We had a great little ride, and since it rained, they were flexible and accommodating. And I have to give a shoutout to the nice bathroom and changing facilities! I would recommend BOA to everyone!! read more

Had an amazing time white water rafting! There were 8 of us so we had to be split up but it was so much fun. We stayed with the rest of our group and our guide, Frank, did an amazing job! We will be talking about this for a while! read more

A must do trip! We did a two day self guided kayak trip on the Cheat River. BOA rented us kayaks and provided us with detailed information about the river and where to camp, and even gave us free bottles of water. We put in at their shop, and enjoyed a 9 mile gentle float down the beautiful river. Solitude and wildlife were abundant. Best of all, we felt completely prepared by BOA despite it being our first kayaking trip in a few years. In the early evening we arrived at the Seven Islands, which is a chain of small, campable islands. You simply pick an island, which you will likely have to yourself for the night. The next day, we paddled 10 more miles to Riveview Lounge, where BOA was waiting for us to load up our kayaks and shuttle us back to our car. We were particularly impressed with their COVID-19 protocol; they sanitized every boat prior to use, they provided disposable masks to us, and their storefront was completely no-contact. Overall, this was an amazing trip through a gorgeous section of the Cheat River, and BOA made it all possible. We highly recommend doing a two day trip so you can camp on the Seven Islands, for more info check out the Cheat River Water Trail: https://cheatriverwatertrail.org read more

Staff was friendly and helpful. Gift shop had plenty of BOA merchandise ( T-shirts, stickers , etc). We brought our own kayaks and they drove them up river for us with another large group people that rented kayaks , tubes and canoes. Prices are reasonable. Site offers camping on river. read more

Super friendly staff, great location, prices, and services. We took our family with 4 kids (all 8 and under) and we had a blast! Highly recommend this company. The canoes, paddles and extra seats were quality! We brought our own life jackets but they provided those as well. The bathrooms are clean and well kept, which is a bonus! read more

SO laid back. SO easy. SO beautiful out there. Staff was there when we needed them, but left us alone to do our thing...and we did. And it was wonderful. read more

We went whitewater rafting this past Saturday, and we had a fantastic time. Our guide Brian was awesome, the section of river we rafted had lots of great rapids, and even the lunch they provided was delicious (especially the brownies). I would definitely recommend them if you are in the area and interested in whitewater rafting. read more

We've been doing canoe trips with BOA for years! They are amazing, allow us to safely have fun and are so unbelievably accommodating to our large group!! read more

My husband and I did a white-water rafting adventure with this company, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guides were very safety conscious, but also wanted to make sure everyone had fun. The weather didn't start out looking very promising -- we got rained upon right before stopping for lunch, but then things cleared up and the rest of the tour was sunny. The bus driver took pictures of us as we went over rapids, of which there were nine. The rapids were class II and III, and the water level in the river was very high due to rains the night before. Very fun. We would do another activity with this group in the future. read more

Went whitewater rafting with Case as our guide - was fantastic. Everyone had fun!

Wow. These people are just plain awesome. Great guides, great river experience. HIGHLY recommended. Oh and if you get the chance, choose to ride in the duckies. They're a blast. read more
