5.00Amazing experience! Aaron was a wonderful guide. I highly recommend requesting him if you want a mature, experienced, professional & friendly guide. We were lucky to have a second guide Bridget in our raft also, and she was a badass. Overall the whole trip was great. Challenging and just scary enough to be exciting.
We were skeptical because...

Youth overnight summer rafting trip

5.00I’m a youth pastor and we went rafting the middle ocoee with quest expeditions. We had a wonderful experience. We stayed in the bunk houses overnight and really enjoyed the accommodations. Air was cold beds were comfortable. Campfire s’mores volleyball corn hole horse shoes and more were available for our youth’s entertainment. Located close to stores and some good restaurants which made our stay easier. The guides were lots of fun we all had a very good time and would highly recommend quest expeditions for your rafting adventures.

5.00Such a great trip!! From the fun bus ride with all the guides and owner (and her sweet mama). Our guide Nikke was phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back and do the longer one.
Fun rafting, but the cafe food is terrible

4.00This was our second trip, and we did have a fun time. Our guide was Avis, and she was fabulous. I do have some concerns. We arrived with enough time to grab a quick lunch at the cafe. I had been told via phone that the cafe was opening for the first time on the day of our trip. At opening time, a staff member began to write the menu on a chalkboard. It is very limited. We finally were able to order bought 3 burritos and 2 tacos. If you asked me to rate only this meal, I would give it a zero. Truly awful, bland, and dry. The taco was on a soft tortilla about the size of my palm. Chicken, a lot of greens, no cheese, no sauce. I rolled it, ate 2 bites, and threw it away. The burritos were also only half eaten by my family members for the same reason. We did have a small container of sauce, but it was not spicy sauce as one would expect for a Mexican meal. This sauce added nothing to the tacos or burritos. This was a total waste of money. I would advise anyone planning a trip here to eat before you come or bring snacks with you. Our scheduled time was 12:30, and we arrived early to allow for a 30-minute buffer before the meeting. However, when I checked us in I was told we would meet at 12:30. What was the point of arriving early? After waiting 20 minutes past 12:30, we were finally greeted by guides. As I said, our guide was great, and the rafting went well. The disorganization and cafe need improvement.
Nikke was awesome!

5.00Quedt Expeditions was the overall package from beginning to end. The lady at the check-in desk was so kind and helpful both at check-in and when we were finished with our tour. We had such a blast on the rafting trip itself. All the guides made our bus rode out to the river and back entertaining. Our guide, Kat, was very fun and informative. She made our trip both interesting and exciting. She gave us the option to "turn up the spice" from the beginning of the ride, and she checked in often to make sure it wasn't too much. We appreciated how in tune She was to our rafting needs. Would love to raft woth her as our guide again.
