They are a family owned business and are absolute pros - always friendly, always knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making your river trip fun and easy. From the moment you pull into their huge parking lot, to the moment you're back on dry land, they take really good care of you. They walk you through the route clearly, answer all your questions and let you decide your exit point on the river while you're out paddling. That flexibility is a great option. I look forward to my next paddle!

This review will focus on the overall experience and the Intro to Whitewater experience. First off,…read moreANYONE can do this trip, do not bother with the beginner trip down the river. Unless you are medically unfit, you can do this. Exceptional customer service sums up the team at Jim Thorpe River Adventures (aka LOC). They are extremely well organized which makes for a great trip. Everyone from the moment you enter LOC until the very end was polite, professional and wanted to make sure you have a great time. Some tips to follow: you only need to arrive 15 minutes before your group time, this allows ample time to get situated. Buy their pre-made lunch, it is well worth the 10 bucks, bring extra water on the raft (especially in the summer). Use the bathroom before you get on the bus (and be quick). They give you a dry bucket for your lunch and items, yes you can bring your phone in a dry pouch. Wear a hat and a sun shirt, it is hot and sunny, without much shade. Jump in the water when you have the chance !! If you are a "full figured" person it will be difficult to re-enter the raft, be aware. The trip down river is very safe and well organized. The guides are VERY safety aware ! If you are nervous and listen to them, the team will get you down the river without a hitch ! A few suggestions: don't go on a busy holiday weekend, it can get crowded on the river, the safety briefing takes a long time and you a sitting in the sun (remove your vest and drink water), during July and August I would imagine the water is very low and slow (if it is a dry summer)...best only if you want to have a relaxing rafting trip. Overall, a bunch of fun. The entire family had a great time.

It was pretty much a 4 hour water gun fight (you must rent the water cannons- essential) with swim spots too, and the hot dog/pbj lunch was a sufficient and quick re-fuel. The staff was all nice, and the other families really getting in on the water gun fights made it fun (the pirates really only attacked the middle of the group on our trip- but they did interact while waiting to leave). The only thing I was disappointed in was that last time they gave us a heads up on where the picture would be taken, and this time they did not. Two of our group members had a photo of the back of their heads, which stinks, because I like to get the photo. Other than that, really nice day.

We had an awesome time rafting the Delaware Water Gap. We drove up to the Poconos, where we stayed…read morea few years back, coincidentally. This was a pretty last minute, somewhat impromptu day trip. Our friends invited us along, to help celebrate their daughter graduating and going off to college. It would be the first time rafting for my fnsily, but our friends had done previously with other friends and acquaintances. We arrived earlier than our time slot. I would suggest opting for the earliest outing you can, so that you have time to stop along the route. We started later than expected and we're rushing to get to the end, so we weren't able to chill and relax, and take our time heading down. There's also a place to eat and an animal exhibit in the same area. You can hang out and do some stuff before or after your water sport. You're able to bring your own vests, however for children, they MUST be US Coast guard approved. Honestly, adult of child, you should just be safe and ensure you have the right gear. Many of their vests were pretty new but I'd prefer to carry my own. We paid, got our wristbands, and the staff explained what we would be doing. We drove a little bit away, to Smithfield Beach, where they have picnic areas and access to the water. They have bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. All of the bathrooms in the early part of the day are great but by dusk, they get dank and gross. They really should gave someone clean them mid-day. We had to pay for parking in the beach lot, which was about $10. We walked down to another area where a guy explained to us how to navigate the river. He told us what to expect in terms of water height and expressed that we must ale3havr access to our vests in case water patrol stopped us. It seemed daunting at first but once we were out on the water, it was all good. We hopped in a van, which drove us to where we get our rafts. Oncr we got into our rafts, we were good to go. Our raft had to be switched out for antiehr because hubby noticed water bubbling at his feet, which meant there was a hole, so please make sure you inspect your craft before you head out. Paddling was difficult because we were three in a raft and we couldn't get the rhythm. This is definitely a workout. Everyone had to work together or you're all just making more work for each other. I would suggest at least four strong paddlers to a raft. If only two or three, you should definitely focus on working together. For the majority of the trip, the water was only knee or waist deep. There are lots of plant life in the water, making it difficult to paddle through. The entire trip straight should take 3-4 hours. We stopped at some of the "islands" to have lunch, drink, and just rest. We saw people off to the side camping, swimming, and having a good time. I'm convinced some of those people didn't make it back in time. That was not about to be us. We kept it moving, paddling and taking pictures, and enjoying the beauty of the nature surrounding us. It was amazing and the water was sooo clear. We got to see the beginnings of the sun setting and made it back just in time before it got too dark. We were driven back to Smithfield Beach, dried off and changed in the bathrooms, and headed home. The drive was about two hours each way and by the end of the night, we were exhausted. It was a fun trip and I'd love to do it again but I would probably prefer staying nearby at the Wyndham cabins or a campsite.

Upon arrival at our appointed time, we were greeted warmly, and our reservation was promptly found. The staff was eager to help us, and we were able to pick up some bug spray and protective gear for our belongings, which was great since we hadn't come prepared for that. Every person we interacted with inside their shop was very helpful. They ensured we found life preservers that fit us perfectly and provided detailed instructions along with a QR code to access a map. Finding the parking site within the National Park was easy, though we had to pay a $10 fee, which was reasonable. The park was full, so we were glad to be part of the Adventure Sports group, as they were turning everyone else away. The staff promptly met us at our car, loaded us into the van with other customers, and took us to Bushkill, where they unloaded our boats and ensured we were all set to go. They even offered to help us launch the boats. We received a set of safety instructions, and Lucas, who gave the briefing, did an excellent job. He was personable, friendly, and provided helpful tips on what to watch out for and avoid. All the staff involved in shuttling and getting the boats in and out of the water were great. Our time on the Delaware Water Gap was fantastic. We did the 10-mile trip, which took about four hours, including a couple of stops along the way based on their provided information. This was a fantastic experience as part of my daughter's birthday excursion in the Poconos. We are super glad we chose this outfit and highly recommend them for their professionalism, friendliness, high-quality gear, and detailed, helpful instructions. Every staff member was super nice and helpful, making for a memorable experience. Very affordable for what they provide, quality gear and shuttled right to the launch and waiting in the other end to collect everything and help the customers. Highly recommend Adventure Sports!

Feel free to bring your own lunch - we ordered from them and wish we had brought our own. Make sure you tuck your toes under the seat in front of you because otherwise you will pop out. Our picture at the end only had 3 people because one had popped out into the river. This was on the 6 hour tour. The guides were nice but in an emergency, which we had where two boats emptied their passengers, it was a little hairy. All in all a great day on the river. Super fun!

I have booked with White Water Challengers before and was excited to return because of the great…read moreexperiences I have had in the past. Unfortunately, our recent trip with a group of six was extremely frustrating due to the organization and scheduling. Our original time slot was changed because there were not enough groups, which we understood. However, our new 10:20 time slot was expanded to accommodate additional groups, and we were then required to wait an extended period for a very large group that arrived late. As a result, we did not begin rafting until after 12:15, and the safety review had to be rushed because of the delay. Throughout the trip, our group was repeatedly forced to stop and wait for the late group, who frequently fell out of their raft and struggled to follow the safety instructions. I estimate we spent close to an hour collectively waiting along the river. Even the group scheduled after ours eventually passed us, and we did not return to the bus until shortly after 5:00. I want to emphasize that Olivia, Bailey, Kristen, and Sid were excellent guides and did their best under difficult circumstances. My frustration is entirely with the organization and scheduling of the trip. Additionally, while this was outside of anyone's control, we paid for Class II and III rapids, but the river flow that day was approximately 820 CFS, making the experience much closer to Class I and II. I hope you will take this feedback seriously, as this experience was significantly different from the positive experiences that led me to book with White Water Challengers again.

We slowly floated down the river, listened to music on our small portable speaker, swam around, made a short stop along a rocky bank at the edge of the water, and got to the end point after just over 3 hours. We got the shuttle bus back to the Twin Rivers office to drop off the life vests, then went back to our car in the parking deck right across the street. Very simple, and lots of fun!

However, at $20/pp for the canoes or kayaks, it was fine. It's paid per hour and up front. They do take card. You're given an hour, but they seem pretty loose about this. From our day out, though, you really won't spend much more than an hour out on the lake exploring unless you want to just stop and take in the views. We did that and still were just about an hour - after also going around the whole lake. Unfortunately, my seat in the kayak was broken and wouldn't sit up, so my husband had to use his legs to support my back rest the entire time. This made things rather uncomfortable, but that really wasn't their fault for not knowing. I even forgot to mention the broken seat when I got out since I was just kind of happy to get out of there. It's a beautiful lake, gorgeous housing lined on all sides. I really would recommend looking for a place with jet skis since we did see a lot of people using those and it looked like w lot of fun... but if you haven't been kayaking before or just want to explore the lake leisurely, this is definitely a good time.
