General Information:

Choose your own adventure on the beautiful Nantahala River, we keep our trip rates fair because we believe everyone should be able to take advantage of this beautiful river. We also offer 2nd Run Same Day at HALF PRICE! ( *peak days may not apply depending on availability.)

There are NO HIDDEN COSTS at Fast Rivers! Prices for NC Whitewater Rafting include all necessary equipment, shuttles, personal “how-to” instruction & river safety and insurance against damaged equipment. Prices listed do not include a small river fee. And of course, exceptional customer service!

For a guided trip: Your raft will only be your group plus the guide if you have 5+ in your group. If you have 2-4 in your group and would like a GUARANTEED private trip, you can choose this option for an additional $15 per person. Without choosing this option, you might be combined with another guided group. The only way to guarantee that is to select the “private option.” A $100 minimum may be required during non-peak times. All rafts are self-bailing.

For a self guided trip: You will raft with only the group you have arrived with. A $50 minimum may be required during non-peak times.

For a guide-assisted trip: You raft with the group you come with plus the appropriate number of guides. Your group must have 8+ rafters to qualify for the guide- assisted option. Your group will have more rafts than guides. The raft/rafts without the guides will be assisted by the guide/guides in your group’s other raft/rafts.

Additional Information:

While Reservations are strongly suggested, walk-ins are always welcome. Please remember that the only way we can guarantee you exactly what you want is by making a reservation. Calling ahead is a good idea to also insure we are running trips that day. Your group’s reservation requires full payment or credit card commitment in advance. We do not charge the card unless on the day of the trip you prefer that form of payment or your full group does not show as reserved. Trips Go Rain or Shine. All reserved spots will be charged.

Insurance is included in pricing and covers damaged rafting equipment, not individual boats such as funyaks and torrents. Insurance DOES NOT COVER LOST EQUIPMENT for self-guided trips or Tote & Float Rentals. A lost single blade paddle is $20 and a lost double blade paddle is $30. A lost individual craft (i.e. funyaks or torrents) are Market Value.

Payment Methods: We accept Cash, Visa, Discover, American Express and Mastercard. Checks if approved by Will Truett.
