Amazing Time!
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at Ocoee Adventure Center! Our river guide Chris was super knowledgeable, fun, and had some pretty top notch dad jokes! I would recommend Chris as a tour guide and OAC as a rafting company!

Incredible!
My favorite outfitter I’ve ever toured with! This river is incredible, certainly one of the best on the east coast. It’s intense and beautiful the whole way, with plenty of excitement with sections of nonstop class III-IV rapids. Our guide Michael was very professional.
