We booked the Upper Pigeon River Adventure for $42/person on River Rat website. Our guide was Ethan and he was awesome! From beginning to end our adventure was two hours. Our adventure started right on time with safety information and gearing up. Then, there was a short bus ride to our starting point. Our total time was 2 hours with a little over an hour on the river. Our crew had so much fun and we will return!

10 out of 10 — Highly Recommend! Why? The staff! That's why. The experience was outstanding from the very beginning. The merch team that helped check us in was friendly, personable, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. Their positive attitude set the tone for an incredible day. A huge thank you to Erin, Grace, Emma, and the entire whitewater rafting team for making this such a memorable experience. From the dad jokes and contagious energy to the constant encouragement throughout the day, you all went above and beyond. Your passion, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a great experience did not go unnoticed. What impressed me most was realizing how much effort goes into safely steering the raft and guiding everyone through the river. I can only imagine how sore your arms must be after a full day on the water, yet every one of you kept smiling, stayed engaged, and gave 100% from morning until night. Thank you for making this adventure such a fantastic experience. Your hard work, professionalism, and enthusiasm are truly appreciated. If you're considering whitewater rafting here, don't hesitate—it's a 10 out of 10 experience! Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding experience. The guide was amazing. We had never been rafting before. We did not fall out of the boat. We had two kids with us one 13 and one 12.
