Nantahala River Rafting

The perfect family friendly introduction to the fun of white water rafting on one of America's most popular rivers!

The Nantahala River is Class Fun Whitewater.  Located just 8 miles west of downtown Bryson City, NC and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the Nantahala River is the perfect river to enjoy with family and friends. We offer trips seven days a week, year-round.

You can choose between a fully-guided trip, a self-guided trip, guided duckys or self-guided duckys. River time is approximately two hours, and we have trips available throughout the day. What sets us apart as the best Nantahala River Rafting company is our size – we choose to be small, our staff and our commitment to giving you a “wow” experience.
