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!

Highly Recommend!
This rafting company puts safety first, the boats and guides work as a team ensuring the entire trip (multiple boats) have a great time and everyone makes it down safely. Highly recommend this company. We will definitely be back in the years ahead.

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.
