Ocoee Inn Rafting — Local services in Cleveland

5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Todd is the best This was my second time rafting with Ocoee Inn Rafting, and they are all you could ask for! Not only was the experience so fun, but it was also very safe and personal. The guides are incredible and they make the experience what it is. Here are some examples to prove my point: We had a girl who was a first time rafter and was very nervous. Our guide, Todd, gave her practical advice to calm her nerves, but also continually encouraged her that it would be fun. As well, other guides came up to her to make sure that she was ok and assured her that she would have a good time. Within the first 10 minutes of rafting, Todd took us into a rapid and turned us around so that we were facing it, and we all got doused with water. When we got out, he said how that was called “the washing machine.” Throughout the trip he would take us “surfing” and he had us ride the bull two times. He wanted to make sure that we all had a wonderful time. When we asked Todd where he was from, he told us about his experience at Lee college and he answered our questions about it and why he loved going there. He also shared his faith with us, and we had really good conversation. All of this also happened uneven rapids— one moment he is describing what his time was like at Lee and how it impacted him, the next he was yelling for us to “Forward two!” and then he continued his conversation of how people worship in different ways at the church he goes to. Todd also tricked us into flipping out of the boat. That was just really fun. And Todd wasn’t the only great guide there— we heard so many stories from other people in our youth group about how their guide was so good, and everyone had a wonderful time with them. We also saw other companies taking their groups down the river at the same time as us, and we got to really see how great Ocoee Inn Rafting was compared to them. If you’ve learned anything from this review, I hope it would be that Ocoee Inn Rafting offers you the best experience white water rafting that you...

What's better than rafting the Ocoee with the best guides on the river? Simple - do it again the next day!

On Friday, Mike T. guided our group of four on the Middle Ocoee with the "Adreneline Junkie" experience - we had an incredible trip! Rock jumps, body surfing, side explorations, and unique approaches to the rapids added extra thrills that were awesome.

Saturday morning we hit the Ocoee again with Jon G. who guided our full river trip, and like always, it was a blast. Our group of four included both experienced and new rafters ranging from 17 to 58, and all of us are ready to go again!

Both guides made the floats even better with their personal attention and engagement; we highly recommend them!

The only mistake you can make when rafting the Ocoee is to choose a guide company other than Ocoee Inn Rafting. With their experienced guides and commitment to the customer, you are guaranteed to have the best trip with them!

We posted the review below after our trip last year; above is the review from the trip in 2022. Google won't let me post another review about our most recent trip, so I decided to edit this one.

2021 review While the Ocoee River is amazing in-and-of itself, having a great trip depends upon the company and guides - and we chose wisely! Ocoee Inn Rafting is the best on the river! Jon-G was an an incredible guide, providing insight along the way but always engaging (he knew everyone's name within 5 minutes). There were plenty of thrills but he always emphasized safety.

I could go on about how much we enjoyed the trip, but the fact that we took a second full-river trip ON THE SAME DAY says it all! I guess that usually doesn't happen, but my sixteen year old son heard Jon-G say he was leading another full day float as soon as we returned, and Jimbo was able to fit us in. So we spend 10 hours (20 miles) on the Ocoee in a single day and HAD A BLAST. Do yourself a favor and book with Ocoee Inn Rafting (and stay at the Inn if possible - very...

7.6.20 Whitewater Rafting trip down the Ocoee Middle River with my family this morning. Ocoee Inn has been our choice since 1990 and will continue to be as we had our BEST ride down the river EVER today. Brad was our guide and his 20 year experience running the river showed! He put us in all the right holes and we hit the Rapids with lots of jolts and splashes! We got to surf many times, jump off a rock doing cannonballs and then swim in a whirlpool eddy, we got out of the raft and floated in calm deep water, my son got to be the guide and Brad was very kind to help teach him how to use his paddle to steer the raft, my niece got to ride the bull through Hell's Hole and PowerHouse, but most of all Brad was a class act who had a great personality and interacted with us down the river. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed the thrill of fast water and getting dumped out of the boat after a big rapid. Our bus driver did a great job giving us a smooth and safe ride to and from the drop in and take out. We had the privilege of rafting with Jim and his two guests. Also another guide, John, joined our party and floated the river in an inflatable kayak. We enjoyed watching him try to stay in his vessel as he skillfully maneuvered down the river all the while his two partner guides displayed hilarious commentary about his attempt to go the distance with us. Our whole trip was made complete with a hot clean shower when we returned and of course the kiddos hit dad up for some gifts at the gift store and we also purchased a thumb drive of digital photos of our trip, which was special as it was my teenage niece's first run down the Ocoee! If you are looking for the BEST outfitter and guides, Ocoee Inn is the original and BEST...you won't ever raft with another company. May God continue to bless these kind folks and May God Bless...
