⚠️ Now Hiring for the 2026 Season Join Our Team! ONLY 2 SPACES LEFT Whitewater Rafting on the Pigeon River – 24 Years of Adventure in the Smoky Mountains. Up to $700 sign on bonus❗️

Raft Outdoor Adventures

Currently recruiting for the season from May 11th, 2026 to September 5th, 2026.

📍 We have been training people just like you to be professional river guides for over 20 years. We have a team of 30 guides during the summer dedicated to having fun on the river and sharing that excitement with our customers. 😃 Many of the guides that we have trained have gone on to have long careers in outdoor recreation, and others have taken these skills to life away from the river. 🌊

We raft near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville areas in Tennessee, and Asheville, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley areas in North Carolina. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park ⛰ is in our backyard with hundreds of miles of backcountry trails and there are more classic whitewater rivers within 2 hours of our outpost than anywhere on earth!
