Our family went to Wahoo's Adventures while we were on vacation in Blowing Rock, N.C. On the first day my family and friends went tubing which cost $155.00. At the same time they a reservation for white water rafting ($270.00) which was charged on the same ticket, a total of $425.00. When they returned from tubing the young people asked... more

I have taken many rafting, inner tube, and kayak trips in my life. This was the only time I've had any problem at all. First, when I entered the establishment, I asked if lockers were available and the manager said "Yeah--your locked car". Second, this was the only place I have been where the customer is given a copy of... more

I had been wanting to take our family tubing. We decided to go over 4th of July. I called and made reservations. They had a special for $15.00 instead of $20.00. I asked if we would be able to take our cooler and they said of course. You have to travel thru Boone to the "headquarters" to sign your waivers... more

This is the first time I went rafting with Wahoos. My family had a great time with them on our trip to the Watauga river, and our kids loved it. They have a brand new building on the river with helpful, friendly guides. Their building at the river had hot showers for us to use, and a place we could... more

I would never use this service again. They were not organized. I would describe several of the guides as unprofessional and two were vulgar (cursing and trying to deflate other rafts). The mangement seemed to have little interest in correcting the problems and compared to all the other companies we have used (more than 2 others in similar areas) this... more

This is the second year we've gone out on the Nolichucky with Wahoos and we weren't disappointed. Last year we did the whitewater kayaking, and this year our group of 6 went in a raft. The guides are knowledgeable and entertaining and they definitely put safety first. This trip is not for the faint of heart or unadventurous, or for... more

This was the worse time I have ever had in the mountains. 1. The office is 1 hour and 15 mintues from the river. You are not told this until you have already paid your money. 2. There are no hot showers; I let the water run several mintues, and to no avail. 3. There website claims that professional pictures... more

We just returned from the Wahoo's Nolichuky River Adventure. It was the first time in a river raft for me, my wife, and our two kids, ages 14 and 10. Guides are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, courteous and encouraging. Class III and IV rapids, amazing scenery, great food! Great FAMILY adventure, good for adventurous first-timers. more

First off this is a this was the coolest thing we have done in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge!! You can not miss this, just the bus ride to the river was a adventure in its self! The guides were great and going down the Class 3&4 water falls kicked butt! Take the whole family! more
