Paddle Inn Rafting Company

Amazing experience through and through. Did an unguided trip. The gentleman explained everything in a super simple but effective way. The raft themselves are super tough and was put through hell and never popped or leaked. Will be returning to this place the next time we go rafting.

No need to ever go anywhere else! I have had 2 experiences here my most recent being Sunday before Labor Day.nnFirst: A number of years ago 5 or more, I was riding my motorcycle touring The Smokies and decided to take a rafting trip. I had been down the Nantahala before and seemed the right speed for my trip. Stopped in hear, late (for the river times) and asked if it was possible to get on the river. Dude was like, “no problem man!” Literally loaded my ducky and me, solo on the bus!, and took me to drop me in with no hesitation. Great experience!nnMost recent trip: Planned an Overlanding trip with my fiancée and wanted to take her rafting for her first time. Instantly wanted to book with Paddle Inn from my last experience. I can not even limit myself in a “google review” to even begin to explain what an amazing experience we had. From the time we walked up got nothing but love from every single person that was working there, literally, like felt like family instantly it was unreal! Mom set us up and we brought some gifts for her being that we are from South Louisiana.(per the website: acceptable forms of payment besides cash/cc/checks, are “Louisiana sausage, boudin, boudin balls, crawfish, oysters, shrimp”)nOh my Lord! That was just the beginning. Mom and the fam treated us with the most respect, and friendliness that we could have never imagined or dreamed of. Just an absolutely amazing experience. We will 100% be back, and can not wait to see y’all again!nnSide note- I have rafted the Nantahala a number of times and have never seen a 3 person ducky. They have one! Thing was cool and a group on our trip took it out. The only outfitter on the whole river that has one. If you have a group of 3, 100% go ride that thing! Everyone else reading this, just go to Paddle Inn and howl like a wild animal when you pass Mom’s house on the river!nnThanks everyone for a GREAT trip, and the most amazing memories!

We had a wonderful time down the Nantahala this afternoon. The owner took us in quickly. Our friends used the guided tour we used the unguided (due to experience) great starter white water for all ages. I had wonderful time going down stream . The owner was awesome, she was straight to the point and my kind of gal! My husband and our children had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Paddle Inn Rafting. 5 star no frills and over prices rates. With the same white water as those that cost 2x as much. Children ages 7, 9, and 11 all had a blast! They are hooked. We will return!

One of the best rafting trips I've taken. The people were on-the-ball, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and even worked to help others in-need on the river. Even the prices were excellent.

We had a blast. Our guide Bryson was such great sports. He made the experience amazing.
