Bounce and churn through more than 7 miles of cool and clear whitewater running through the Nantahala National Forest. Run Patton's Run, Tumble Dry, Whirlpool Rapid, Surfing Rapid, and end with and exhilarating run through Wesser Falls.

Our kid-friendly guides are always on the river with you to assist with fun and safety.
We don't use the term "Guarantee" loosely. If you don't have a great time rafting with your kids on this trip, we will give you your money back.
Duckys & Inflatable Kayaks
We use ThrillKats, a special type of Ducky, on the Nantahala. These are great for active teens and adults. We do not recommend Duckys on the Nantahala for anyone who is timid or apprehensive about going rafting.
The cool and active waters of the Nantahala make it great for go-getters in a Ducky, but it's a challenge for anyone else. We recommend you use splash gear or a wet suit if you take a Ducky down the Nantahala.
