Whitewater Rafting Trips Featuring Class I - IV Rapids!

Fantastic trip down the Full river.

We’ve been on the Ocoee several times and this was an entirely different trip. Experienced guides that individually tailored the trip to our needs. Had one boat full of experienced rafters and another with a mix of rafters and first timers. The guides put each boat where it needed to be to maximize the trip based on experience of paddlers. Completely customized trips, no cookie cutter everyone gets the same ride nonsense. New equipment to boot. Will definitely be back over and over.

Fantastic Experience with All-Star Guides, new equipment and boats, and experience

I have been down the Ocoee 5 times, and this was BY FAR the best experience I have ever had. Our guide customized the trip to our preferences, and took us to places on the river that most people, including the guides, never even see because it's "too technical" or "too hard". NOT Bigfoot Outfitters! Their guides have an insane amount of experience and can get you to anywhere on the river, are extremely personable, and truly listen to their passengers' requests.

Best. Trip. Ever.

This was without a doubt the best rafting experience we have ever had. My husband & I and two friends came to spend the weekend on the Ocoee and decided to stay with Bigfoot. We stayed in the bunkhouse for two nights and had a blast. Our rafting trip was seriously the best one any of us had ever been on. Bigfoot has obviously made some serious efforts to pick the best guides in the business. All of their guides have a minimum of 10 years experience and it seemed like most had quite a bit more. This definitely made a HUGE difference in our day. Our guide, Jerry, was hands down the best we've ever had. He was super knowledgeable and gave us an awesome trip. I felt safe and was confident that we were in good hands. We saw several other companies with guides that were obviously less experienced. I cannot stress enough how glad I was that we picked Bigfoot. We had an absolute blast and we will DEFINITELY be back!!

The Best Ocoee Rafting Company

I've been down the Ocoee 4 times now, and my most recent trip with Bigfoot was by far the best. The best part is their awesome guides. Our trip leader, Caleb, and my raft guide, Warner, were simply awesome. Knowledgeable, fun, professional...they just couldn't have been better. And the Bigfoot facility is very nice. Clean bathrooms, hot showers for after your trip, and great-looking merchandise. This is the rafting company you want to go with.
