Taylor (mcqueen) was the best instructor he made our time very fulfilling and fun. When i first saw & talked to him i could tell we were gonna have fun. i would forget he didnt come with us. Wouldntve done it different! read more

So fun!! George was our guide and he was amazing!! He was very sweet and talked to us the whole time.

Went with my 18-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son, and they loved it! Our guide, Jace, was incredible, and next time we go, we'll try to do the entire river with him. If you have a chance to do the Middle, Upper, or Full, make sure to ask for Jace because he's friendly, funny, and an obvious pro at white water rafting. read more

we had a great time on the middle part of the river with our guide Colton! Our family of was grateful for his experience and humor. We had a great day! read more

Noah "Ribbit" was amazing! Super energetic and friendly. So glad we got him as our guide. This was our best water rafting experience so far.

We had SUCH a great time rafting with Raft One! Our guide was Caleb who was absolutely wonderful! The trip was awesome but Caleb made it even better! I highly recommend this company and we can't wait to come back! read more

RaftOne - Ours was definitely the liveliest crew! - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Copperhill, Tennessee

We did the middle river section of the Ocoee (i go rafting on this river every year) and this was my boyfriend's first time going. Jace was our guide and he did a wonderful job! We told him we wanted to get a little roudy and he was happy to accommodate, allowing us to do some cool tricks on the river! We had a blast, and in the calm water we got to swim & he made sure to have his dad jokes out too haha! Whether you are a pro or a first timer they will make you feel comfortable here! Had a wonderful time thanks again Jace. We also went ziplining, and had Bucky and Gracie and they made sure to crack jokes through the whole experience. Boyfriend is scared of heights but the guides eased him into it and ensured he had a good time. We also got to race at the end on the last line! The views are great, but the staff is truly what makes this place stick out. read more

Because of my awesome experience with Raft One, I booked my Boy Scout Troop. Twenty six Scouts and adults had an amazing time and repeatedly complemented me on choosing this outfitter. And I did hear wonderful things about Bucky again!! read more

An absolute must! We tackled the Middle Ocoee river and the team at RaftOne was great, especially our guide Pinny. She kept us all from having an involuntary "Out of Boat Experience" After the ride she made an amazing restaurant recommendation Will go again and without question Pinny will be our requested guide! read more

First day of the 2023 season and we were greeted by Holden. Love it cuz my 3rd son is named Holden too. He has a great personality and wants everyone to feel like family. We had an amazing time. Nick was our tour guide down the Ocoee and was a lot of fun! He kept us safe and this mom of 4 boys was appreciative. We all had a fantastic day! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !! read more

RaftOne - Amazing white water experience! - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Copperhill, Tennessee

Just finished our white water rafting trip with @Bucky at the helm. Can't say enough good things about our guide Bucky and the outfitter. Super knowledgeable, professional and great sense of humor. Highly recommend this for all ages. Would definitely come back in the future. read more

These guys were great! Did a father and son excursion with a total of 6 of us, and the team was on point. We started our day rafting the Ocoee river and our guide Winny (Wendell) was amazing. She made sure all six of us big guys were all positioned in our raft just perfectly for us to hit the rapids at full throttle and get the most of our experience. Raft 1 is only team that adds extra flair when you are out on the water that no other company does, and it was amazing! If I say it, other companies will see what I am saying and will try and do the same and spoil the fun so if you want that extra bit of fun, I totally recommend this group and definitely ask for Winny, she is a professional rower, her skills our out of this world!! After our rafting experience we went up into the canopy and had a great experience with Sari and Wylie. For someone chicken shit with heights, that totally put me at ease and by the third run zip lining, I felt like a pro. Great day working with this team all around read more

Great trip. Our river guide for this trip was an amazing fellow called "Parrot". We did the full river trip which is what I'd recommend. Parrot was fantastic guide with just the right amount of "these are the rules" mixed the right amount of " have fun, it's your trip". read more

Brenton was an amazing guide! We really really enjoyed ourselves. Will be back next year for sure.

Caleb and Lily took me on my first whitewater rafting trip and completely ruined me (that's how fun and exhilarating and delightful and fun it was). If we can get our schedules worked out, I want to come back next week with my three kids (we live 3.5 hours away in Nashville, TN). I was supposed to be on my honeymoon this week, but we called off the wedding, and I couldn't get a refund on my cabin, so I went by myself. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, so I stopped in at the Cooperhill Brewery the night that I arrived & met Caleb, my guide. He said to contact Raft1 and book a raft for Thursday or Friday and ask for him as my guide. There was only one other person in my group who was rafting solo, so I actually ended up in a four-person raft with two guides. Lily was the perfect balance to Caleb and helped me feel confident. I just followed her lead, did what she did, and we had the best time. Caleb was the perfect guide. He's a great storyteller. He obviously has a great sense of adventure, but he was also concerned for our safety. He kept us laughing, too. After my raft experience, I did a zip line tour with Jamie and Weston. (Sorry, Jamie, for slamming into you on one of the zips!) Weston and Jamie were fantastic guides. They seemed genuinely interested in helping me have a positive experience, being concerned for my safety but also helping to stretch me to do things that seemed terrifying at first (you know, like jumping off of a perfectly good platform). I can't recommend Raft1 highly enough. I wished I lived closer so I could come back more often! I loved every minute! read more

Thank you Jace! Great guide.Very funny not being funny! Highly recommend Jace to wet you all the way down.

Facility had clear signage and was easy to find. Staff took us through a safety briefing before loading up with gear and getting in a van to be taken up to the put in site. There we were assigned our raft, had our safety equipment checked and then we were in our way! We went out with 2 other groups (each a group of 4) early October with guides Adam, Toast, and Kairi. Toast was leading our boat particularly - he was quirky and personable. He gave clear direction and assured our safety throughout the ride while allowing us to get a bit adventurous with our maneuvers! This was my first experience with white water rafting (unless you count SeaWorlds "infinity falls" white water rapids mimic). My uncle, however, has been several times before, and the first time ever flipped out of the boat within the first quarter of the ride! Kairi in another boat quickly aligned herself to pull him into safety, and then "deliver" him back to our boat- he was such a champ and Kairi was deemed his "hero" the rest of the day. Regardless of the "swim", both uncle and aunt got to experience some new things despite having done this a few times before. I think Toast realized we were the "fun boat" and down for anything! He even helped us to do several "360's" along the way. We also all enjoyed the stop roughly midway where we tethered our rafts together, except for one, which we flipped upside down and tied onto a large boulder so we could flip and bounce off the backside into the river to go for a swim! Toast also offered some extra fun opportunities, ie: my wife road the front through a class IV; getting pummeled by water she held strong and it made for a fantastic action-photo that their camera-person captured (available for purchase when you return to the facility). Towards the end he even had the 3 out of 4 of us ride face first at the front through a class III! Overall it was an exhilarating experience for any fit adventure seeking individual- highly recommend! read more

My group and I did the middle River and zip lining combo which was absolutely amazing. Our guide down the River was Olivia and she made everything fun, exciting and safe. The experience was unique in that our boat got turned into a water slide for everyone to jump into the River on. Olivia the joined us with Anna to be our guide for zip lining which was also amazing. I have a severe fear of heights, but they were both so patient and helpful the entire time. I felt so well taken care of at all parts of the trip and would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to have some fun! Remember to ask for Olivia! You won't regret it! read more

GOOOOOOOCHY!!! My son and I had the pleasure of having Gooch as our guide on the river today. He was amazing! From what he says, I was his first passenger to fall in the river this year!! He was quick to get me back in the raft and we had a great time. He encouraged us, helped us have a ton of fun, and was a great guide. I recommend Raft One for an amazing white water rafting experience! read more

10/10 RECOMMEND! Absolutely loved the experiences offered here and the amazing staff that genuinely cares! We booked for zip lining the first day and had so much fun that we ended up coming back the next day for white water rafting! Prices are affordable, pictures were awesome and affordable! Bucky and Spencer are awesome guides and made sure we stayed safe but had lots of fun! There were plenty of jokes throughout both days and all staff made us feel comfortable! This adventure was even better than I could have imagined and will definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to spend Memorial Day weekend around Blue Ridge. He had never been rafting before so we decided to do the middle trip. Dylan 2 (with the long hair) was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of energy. We talked about visiting again and doing the full day trip - upper and middle - and how we'd love to have Dylan as our guide again. I've been on different rafting experiences throughout North America - some great and some not so great. Overall, Raft One was clearly well run and had a very professional operation. Just remember to tip your raft guide (here and almost anywhere you raft)! read more

We had a great time rafting the middle Ocoee! Nic was a great and knowledgeable guide. We all had a good time and got down the river safely. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience! We woke up to chilly rain and were worried about our trip. We were offered special water jackets that kept us protected from the wet chill which worked well to keep us comfortable. Everything was great from the music on the bus to the enthusiasm of the guides. Most of us were first timers and our guide Spencer did a great job of checking with our comfort level before taking challenging routes. They created a slide out of one of the rafts and gave us all a chance to plunge into the river. So much fun! read more

Back to the Ocoee and Raft One never disappoints!! They have friendly and knowledgeable staff with clean facilities. Our guide, Dirt, was great! He took us on a great ride and was mindful the teen girls with us were anxious....he gave us enough thrill without the spill! He did almost lose some of us when we saw the snake in the tree....nice move Dirt! ;) Lunch was delicious with lots of options! Highly recommend these guys! read more

First class guides and facility! Nick was our guide for white water rafting and ziplining and he was the BEST! Our group of first-timers had an amazing time. Will be back and will highly recommend Raft One and NICK! read more

We did the zip lines and then the rafting. I used to be a high adventure camp counselor for 5 years in Montana - so my standards are very high. They did great, our hosts Katie, Ducky, and Toasty were exactly what I would hope for in guides. Also, our raft guide was both helped by and teased by other raft companies, so clearly all the raft companies get along nicely. Which is awesome. read more

TOAST!!! Amazing guide! Very helpful, fun and looked out for your best interest. You can tell that he has a passion for what he does. Highly recommend! Thank you toast for an amazing time! read more

Had a great time on the water and in the trees! Matt and Tiya were fantastic guides on the rafts. Took the time to walk us back to a little waterfall and did a superb job guiding us on the river. Spent the following day with Nick and Spencer on the zip line. They were great with our teenage girls and everyone had fun. Thanks for a wonderful time! read more

On our last vacation to Georgia, our family ventured to RaftOne for ZipLining and Rafting. Our daughter and her friend (16) did the combo day, while our younger children, 11, 10 and twin 8 year olds, did just the zip. Noah and Westin made me feel at ease guiding the kids on th elines, ensuring their safety first but also having so much fun. The kids have been non-stop talking about their experience! Our teenagers really enjoyed rafting with their guide, Hannah, and already cannot wait to go back. Thank you, RaftOne, for the awesome time! read more

White Water Rafting with the family was an amazing experience, and Raft One made it fun and safe. I am not an outdoorsy type of gal - the thought of bugs freak me out - but this is definitely something to do if you're in the area. It's the best way to see the mountains. Our guide Mikey T was a cool, knowledgeable "captain" who made it a thrilling ride filled with laughter. We had seven people in our group, and we were all on the same raft. During a portion the river, Mikey advised us that we were able to jump out of the raft and float. It was amazing! Totally do it if you can. It's not that hard getting back in, if that's what you're worried about. What to wear: I wore a bathing suit under a t-shirt and gym shorts with water booties. If you don't have your own, you can buy a pair at the outpost (check-in center) for $10. My husband wore a sleeveless tank and swim trunks with a pair of old sneakers. Both of us were comfortable. Just don't forget to bring a change of clothes and a towel in the car. They have a changing room with showers for when you return. We took the 3 p.m. Middle River route, and after all was said and done, we were back at the outpost by 7 p.m. It was sunny the entire time, and not too hot. I've gone white water rafting twice before, and Raft One is top notch. The next time I'm in the area, I'll choose Raft One again. read more

We were very excited to introduce our children to the rafting world with Raft1. Unfortunately my daughter got COVID 4 days prior to our trip. I notified the company that the CDC guidelines tell us to isolate for 5 days and we could not go on the trip to protect their guides. They refused to give us any refund! I have reached out to the owners 2-3 times via email and phone and I have never heard any response. Customer service i not part of their brand and be very vary of booking your trip early. read more

We came today for a 2 pm put in time and had a blast with our guide Toast! We were the only two there for this time (late September and late in the day - we were lucky to get a premium one-on-one experience). Toast pulled out all the stops and we got to experience some awesome stuff on the river. I grew up in middle Tennessee and have rafted the Ocoee many times over the years, but this was definitely a unique and awesome day, Toast made the river new for me again. Would highly recommend Raft One (and Toast as a guide!). This is not my first time rafting with them and definitely won't be my last, always an amazing experience with great people. read more
