White Water Rafting

We raft three of the most beautiful rivers in the southeast: the Class II-III Nantahala River, the Class III-IV Ocoee River and the Class IV+ Cheoah River.  Based just outside of Bryson City, near the Smoky Mountain National Park, our rivers give you the choice between family rafting (7 years old and up) as well as advanced Class IV+ for the more adventurous.

Fly Fishing

For guided float trips, wade trips or introductory fly fishing instruction, our location offers some of the most diverse fishing opportunities. We offer year-round fishing on a variety of rivers that provide both wild and stocked brook, brown and rainbow trout, as well as warm water streams with small-mouth bass. Endless River Adventures is permitted through the U.S. Forest Service for guided float trips on the Nantahala River.
Our full service fly fishing shop is at the Nantahala River.

Ecuador Travel

The amazing white water is what brought us to Ecuador, but it is the diversity in this small South American country that has kept us coming back. It’s got it all: rich cultural heritage, stunning scenery, world class rivers, birdwatching, Galapagos Islands, beautiful coastline and snow-capped volcanoes. Guests return year after year for our all-inclusive eco adventure trips with kayaking, rafting, hiking,  birdwatching, and more out of our ecolodge home base.
