Fully Guided Rafting Trip
Description
Fast Rivers opened in 1979. It's the second oldest company on the Nantahala River-- and our longevity is no accident. We're a small business and our goal is to give every single guest a personal, affordable, and downright fun experience on the river. Your trip will most likely be JUST your party, but if you want a guaranteed private trip, we'd be happy to accommodate that (an extra $15 per person.) We have a wide range of guides and we try our best to pair you with someone who will provide you with the type of trip you want. Do you want a chill float, a thrilling experience with rock spins, or something in between-- we'll take care of you! You won't get this kind of personalized experience at the bigger outposts on the river.

Best rafting trip for everyone who would like to know more about Nantahala, about North Carolina’s natural treasures. We got clear instructions from the Team before the trip, as well how to ride safely. The Team provided a convenient bus ride to the put in, as well after the ride back to the starting point. There is a nice room to change before the ride as well to have shower afterwards, in case you prefer so. The ride was amazing as well for my teenager kids as well for my smallest and for the adults. We will be always grateful to Danny, our guide for the best guided tour on Nantahala. He as a tour guide is informative and leads you in a way on the river, that you will never forget the white water and the surrounding forest. he has a very good style, speaks clearly, easy to understand even to foreigners 😅 Thanks a lot Dear Team! Thanks a lot Danny! 🥰
Danny, the guide for our kids (ages 7-18) was FANTASTIC! Wonderful experience and Fast Rivers was definitely worth the price.

Thank you for choosing us! After doing some sleuthing I can tell you Eli was your guide and he had a blast with y'all. See you next time! :)
We have gone with Nantahala Rafting with Fast Rivers for probably over 20 years, maybe 30. We met the owners every time we went. They have awesome guides that will tell you about the history around you, take you to fun spots like jump rock, twirl you, bump you and make sure you enjoy your trip! They have great restroom and changing area right beside the creek that you can hang out at while you wait for your tour to start, and cornhole to entertain the kids or big. Nice gift shop area where if you want to get souvenir or a lake shirt to wear for the trip you can stock up. Or maybe just a bite of ice cream on your return. Quality rafts and equipment. Highly recommend. Just give them a call directly and they'll hook you up. Great for adults and kids. The teenagers love to ride the double duckies together! We older folks do the larger guided tour.
Took the whole family of 5 today, our first time river rafting. It’s was amazing, Ryan our guide was such an amazing guide and a total riot. Every story from him we had no clue if it was true or false, but what an amazing personality and he really made the trip even more memorable. The scenery and the views were incredible as were the rapids. Everyone in the shop, the drivers, all a fantastic group of people and we had a fantastic time. We will be back, thanks again to the entire team
