Fully Guided Rafting Trip
Overview
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.
What's Included
- We provide transportation to the put in (1 minute from our outpost) and back from the take out (about a 15 minute ride.)

What To Expect
Total TRIP TIME approximately 3 – 3 ½ hours – Total WATER TIME is about 2 – 2 ½ hours. After we personally fit you into your life jacket and give you full instructions, we shuttle you to where the adventure begins. On your way down the river, you’ll enjoy over 20 named rapids! This final rapid of your adventure is Nantahala Wesser Falls, which is where we take pictures of your group. We’ll wait for you at the take out and shuttle you the 7.5 mile bus ride back to our outpost where warm, dry clothes & pictures of you conquering “The Falls” await you. You can enjoy our picnic tables while relaxing by the creek, or challenge your friend to a game of corn hole. We have a spacious bathroom with changing rooms and hot showers, and a top-notch retail souvenir shop. Your pictures display at our outpost store on a wide screen TV for the whole group to enjoy and relive the fun! They can be purchased in person, over the phone, or through the link on our website!
