      First timers and would do it again!
      The tour was great. We did the lower Yough white water rafting tour with JD as our guide. JD was very informative and entertaining. He seemed very knowledgeable about the area and very good at guiding our raft safely. If I had any complaint it would be about my sore behind. Couldn't you put some cushions on the raft?? Just kidding, I know that's not possible. Or, is it?? LOL I would love, however, if there were more photographers stationed at different points down the river to capture the scenery as well. Or even a photographer taking pictures of our group before we headed down the river. The pictures that were taken were awesome!

      Good place
      Good place to take a river trip. Very friendly people that gave great service. The middle Yough is a easy float with mild rapids.

      Wilderness Vouyageurs rafting at Ohiopyle
      We loved our family whitewater trip. We could not have asked for a better experience or guide. When Sam, our guide, realized that the rest of my family had never rafted before, he immediately left his kayak and jumped in with us to assist me paddling the raft. I would wholeheartedly endorse the overall experience.

      The ride was completely flat and boring. Not an incline or hill anywhere. The instructor took so little time with us at the start, we felt like we were a bother to him. Not impressed.

      Best trip and wonderful people
      Loved it. Jay our guide was wonderful. She helped me feel comfortable and I was nervous. My 2 teenagers loved the tour with Jay and want to come back in the spring when the water is higher.

      Families with young children - please read!
      We booked the Middle Yough Rafting guided tour for a total of 10 people - 4 adults and 6 children ranging in ages of 7-14. They provided single inflatable kayaks for everyone - even the 2 youngest riders (ages 7 and 8). Having never been on the tour I trusted that the company knew what they were doing by putting them in single kayaks. I assumed it would be an easy ride - it was not. They 100% were not able to navigate by themselves. As a parent it was frightening to watch them struggle and panic. We were eventually able to tether them to an adult kayak. Our experience would have been much different had they been in a double kayak to start. I understand due to water levels why we had to use the kayaks vs rafts, but I just wish they would have provided doubles for the younger children. It would have been a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

      Amazing time!
      This is my second time booking through White Water Adventures and both times we had an amazing experience!! The upper was challenging but enjoyment! Our guide, Ryan, was phenomenal and made the trip very enjoyable and easy to navigate the rapids! I took a doozy of a swim on one of the rapids. It was a little scary but I felt very safe and confident that the guides had my back and I was safe as long as I followed their commands. The lunch at the end was also a nice bonus! We were starving after the trip!

      Great Biking Experience
      We rented the E-bikes for 2 hours and enjoyed it so much! The town is adorable, the trail is beautiful and flat, and the bikes are easy to use. We really appreciated the check-in process. The woman behind the desk was super-helpful, suggesting a route for us to take and showing us how to operate the bikes. Very laid-back and fun experience!

    I had planned on taking 3 teenage boys (16/17/18) on a level 1/II trip for a first experience, but other customers around the shop as well as the employees convinced me that the lower yough would be the right way to get started, and they were right.

    There are plenty of dangers in this water, but the guide we had (Brandon) and trip leader (Aiden) were more than capable of leading us through the easy or hard versions of every line and taking us from 0 experience to 2 level IV sections without worry.

    We chose White Water Adventures over the other outfits in the same area due to their reviews, and after the day we have no regrets. The certification requirements they have are adequate and their commitment to safety over customer pressures compel me to write this review for other parents looking for the right family trip. If you are a young person wanting the most dangerous and adventurous trip you might be fine with any other outfit, but if you're looking for a good family trip or a place to send your loved ones, a guided tour on a more difficult section is *safer* than a less difficult river on their own, where they fall out of their boat and have no idea what to do.

    We took a large group out and the guides were so much fun! Noah, Tommy, Blake and Lucas made our trip amazing. They were intentional with our younger students, taught us so much, and told some epic jokes on the bus ride back. Dont forget to tip your local river guides;)

    My family signed up for the guide-escorted tour on the Lower Yough. Due to our reservation being on a pretty rainy day, we ended up being the only raft at our reservation time. This meant our guide would be in the raft with us. I wasn't sure how I felt about this at first, but it turned out to be the best thing. Our river guide, Tommy, was experienced, funny, and knowledgeable. He truly made the trip extremely memorable and we'd go down river with him again any time.

    One of the guides (John) threw my sunglasses down to my sister in the water at the rock jump activity after I asked him to set them in the bushes so I could return after my jump and get them. I did not give my permission for him to throw them. He didn't throw them anywhere near her and they instantly sunk before she could swim and grab them. Lost my $200 sunglasses and never apologized.

    My boyfriend and I have never tried white water rafting before and we absolute loved this tour! I would recommend to anyone looking to try a new outdoor activity that puts you out of your comfort zone. Our guide Jonathan was great with teaching us the rafting commands and leading us through the rapids. We all managed to stay in the raft and nobody had to brace the chilly 50 degree water. It was a chilly day and the air temp was only about 45 degrees. I can imagine it’s a bit more enjoyable in the warmer weather, but nonetheless we had an absolute blast!

    Our family was part of a big group celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday. Our family included 2 adults, 3 kids ages 11 and 13. My boyfriend and I have been down this stretch of river several times before, with and without guides, and I will say that with Neal as our guide it was by far the best experience we’ve had. He judged each rapid perfectly, communicated directions clearly and decisively, and we had no difficulty getting into bad situations that we’ve gotten into before when not going with a guide. No-one even fell out! He was friendly and knowledgeable as well and was able to give us insights we’d never heard before about the area and the river. If you are considering rafting but wondering if you should get a guide, definitely go for the in-boat guide. The other guides with our group were also fantastic and did so much to ensure the safety and good experience of everyone in our party. Cleatus was the head guide for our party and was excellent as well. He gave us our safety orientation and drove us all back with lots of great info on hikes and history of the area. We felt very well taken care of!

    We had a great time and our two 13yr old grandkids said this was the best whitewater trip we had taken them on so far. We have run a few rivers over the years in different locations and this guide service is among the best. Matt our guide was great getting us down the river and his jokes kept the kids laughing.

    Our bachelorette party had a blast. Braxton was an excellent guide. I'm certain that our trip was so enjoyable/not too challenging because of his expertise. I fell out early on (I was sitting in the front and the first rapids threw me, so I made sure to tuck my feet extra deep despite the discomfort afterward -- you should just accept that they're going to hurt) but he rescued me easily and we all managed to stay aboard for the rest of the trip. He definitely did the heavy lifting since we barely had to paddle, but we really enjoyed feeling like pros whenever we did! I was so impressed by his knowledge of the river and the right amount of paddling we needed to slip between rocks. He communicated extremely well with us and I'm sure he was very patient too since I doubt that we got everything right. We also enjoyed that he gave us options, like whether we were feeling adventurous enough for the SLAP! (We were! And I sincerely hope he wasn't just being nice when he said our SLAP rock lift/twist was one of the best he'd been a part of, because we were on top of the world.) He totally deserved gratuity but most of us are broke college students so I hope this review counts for something.

    Unfortunately, there weren't enough sandwiches for us when we stopped for lunch. My friend and I went to jump off the rock and by the time we got back the main meal was gone. We still got an apple and cookie. We were offered some when the trip was over but we opted to leave for better food.

    We will certainly return to the river!

    We went with 2 adults, my son (13), my niece (13) and my daughter (10). The recommended age (Lower) is 12 but they allow as young as 10. My daughter was fine, however I'm glad we brought my niece with us, as my daughters paddling skills may have made it harder!
    Our guide (Braxton?) was amazing. He knew we were a little worried about my daughter and he guided us great! Was informative about the area and talked a little about himself when we asked too!
    My son and niece loved the tour (Lower) and wanted to do another one right then. My daughter enjoyed also, she just wished it was all rapids and no breaks! :) We would definitely do again.
