BOOK HIGH ADVENTURE OCOEE RAFTING TRIP

The Personal / High Adventure Ocoee River Rafting Trip

5 HOUR OCOEE WHITEWATER RAFTING ADVENTURE W/SNACK

Looking for something beyond the typical group rafting trip? Take your Ocoee River adventure to the next level with our Personal / High Adventure Rafting Tour, an exclusive experience designed for thrill-seekers and small groups who crave more control, more challenge, and more whitewater excitement!

This 5-hour Ocoee River rafting excursion delivers everything you love about Tennessee whitewater — but with a personal touch. Paddle through the Middle Ocoee River’s most famous rapids in a smaller, more agile Puma raft, guided by one of our senior expert guides.

A More Intense Whitewater Experience

Our Puma rafts are narrower and shorter than traditional boats, meaning they cut through rapids differently, giving you a faster, splashier, and more responsive ride. You’ll feel every wave, surf holes, and even swim sections of the Ocoee — making this a one-of-a-kind, high-adrenaline trip for experienced rafters or adventurous first-timers.

Expect nonstop action as you conquer Class III and IV rapids, surf through hydraulic waves, and explore hidden sections of the Ocoee River Gorge surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Cherokee National Forest.

Best rafting company on the Ocoee! We had the best time! This was my very first whitewater rafting trip, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Hunter, was absolutely amazing—kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire experience both exciting and safe, while keeping everyone laughing along the way. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be bringing more friends next time. If you go, ask for Hunter—he’s the best! Highly recommend!

Best Whitewater Rafting Experience Ever Best rafting company ever! The guides are professional and fun. Whitewater rafting on the Ocoee is the perfect mix of excitement, adventure, and safety. It is such a unique experience, unlike anything at a theme park. I have been down the river three times, including the Upper Ocoee, the Full River Trip, and the Middle Ocoee. I can't emphasize enough how fantastic each of our experiences have been.All of the rafting guides are awesome at Cherokee, and I have had the pleasure of riding with three of them. When you register, I highly recommend you request Clara, Everett, or Ethan!

Family/couples fun on the river. We had a fantastic day on the river with Cherokee Rafting. Easy setup, easy check in, nice facilities, and great value. Our guide, Trey, was a pro and customized our trip with just the right amount of whitewater adventure.

Absolute BLAST !! Can't wait to do it again ! Went with a work group and some friends. We had an absolute blast !! Will be returning with my wife at some point. The guides were great and everyone was very friendly. Just an FYI - the water is cold ! But just for the first couple of rapids then you're acclimated, and it isn't bad at all after that. Our guide, Chad, was very knowledgeable of the river and knew where to avoid and where to go. We made the entire trip and didn't flip or lose anyone out of the boat, which is good ! Highly recommend. Can't wait till we go back !!
