smoky mountain outdoors

2012年8月29日,我和妻子参加上河之旅(Upper River trip),玩的特别痛快!。导游“大史蒂夫”非常不错。这次旅行共有3个木筏,他负责娱乐大家,并且在坐公车到入口的路上给我们讲解。我们之前从来没有漂流过,而这次旅行恰到好处,既有趣又没有太过。我们中有几个掉进水了,我和妻子(还有另外一个坐在前排的人)当竹筏漂流被大浪冲击的时候,被卷到水里。不过在混乱中我弄伤了手指,第二天发现实际上是骨折了。这一切说明我们再玩的时候会心惊肉跳了。天气很适合在水里清凉一下,大史蒂夫让我们感觉很安全同时又自由自在。为Smoky Mountain Outdoors的团队而荣!

这时我第一次划激流皮筏艇。地段:我们从加特林堡开车过来,一路风景优美,有许多丛林山峦,满眼尽是绿色。之前就听朋友说过这个路段的车程大概是45分钟,一路都是各种烟雾缭绕的山色,远处的山脉更是使得我们的路途有点迷茫难寻。停车:所有车辆都停放在一处绿草地有点脏的地方。需要做好准备就是万一下雨的话那么你的鞋肯定满是泥泞。我们再来之前就已经很脏了。不过不必担心,只要一下雨肯定你的污点都会被冲洗干净的。入住:因为我们错误地判读了我们的行驶时间,所以我们到达这里已经晚了一小时。不过前台并没有责备我们,他说因为我们是第一次来这所以没关系的。不过很明显的是他们对所有除此来访的客人都会提前一小时做预留量,所以我们就顺势搭着第二趟的客人一起办理了入住,所以还好并没有很着急很匆忙。设施:这里居然没有上锁的柜子,不过我们在抵达的时候已经换上了漂流的衣服所以我们其实并不需要上锁的柜子来存放我们的衣物。基本上你车子的后备箱就已经可以充当一个小柜子了。他们不会向你索要车钥匙的。等待区:等待区在户外,有一个加罩的露台天井,放有一些野餐桌子。我们等了大概45分钟。食物:我无法评价这的食物因为我们并没有在这就餐,当时我们希望不要错过在河边的野餐机会所以就没有在这吃饭,不过事后回想起来觉得这真是一个错误的想法。配置:救生衣、头盔、船桨、还有皮筏艇,这些都包含在正常的费用内。没有任何疑问。巴士:我们乘坐他们配置的奶酪马车抵达河边大概20分钟。救生员为我们讲解了安全技巧、如何使用船桨、同时还和我们开了下小玩笑。激流漂流:我们的整个漂流过程都非常刺激过瘾!不过你一定千万需要记住的就是一定要紧紧握住皮筏艇的船把,这样你的同伴会非常感激你的。我非常不走运地在整个漂流过程好几次都将船桨碰撞到我的胳膊肘和胸部。当我们漂流到河道比较安静平稳的路段时,我们的救生员指导就将我们和其他漂流团队拼在一起像是在进行比赛一样。这样一来就有了一种相互较劲的感觉,真的非常过瘾刺激!你就能听见水流的激流声。非常有趣!作为第一次玩激流骠勇,我真的蛮紧张害怕的,不过整个过程下来我真的觉得很过瘾!我肯定还会再来玩的!技巧水准:不需要掌握特殊技能。我们所有人都是新手从来没有玩过,但我们全都顺利成功闯关。千万不要因为自己没有经验就害怕!指导员:我们非常幸运地碰到了这的领队指导员克里,他是一个非常热情非常开朗的救生员指导!从一开始我们坐在大巴上到整个漂流过程我们都非常愉快!真的很有趣!他全程悉心指导我们的漂流,非常感谢!安全:当我们经过烟雾缭绕的山峦时,当时指导员多次提醒我们千万要注意安全小心河道。他们真的是尽心尽责。其他考虑:整个漂流过程大概2小时,全长5英里。

全家人在加特林堡(Gatlinburg)度假时,我们游览了Smoky Mountain Outdoors。我们决定去玩儿筏流。我和两个女儿对此持怀疑态度,但是先生和儿子非常支持。我们的导游是一位叫做Reverend Dean的男士,他棒极了!!他让我们的旅行非常愉快。消除了我的恐惧感,结果我们那天度过了最愉快的一段筏夫时光!他允许我们划得远一些,经过了一些急流,还在小瀑布前滑行,甚至在炎热天气中玩儿了水!非常感谢你,Dean!!你是最棒的!如果你决定去SMO乘筏子的话,一定要找Rev. Dean。你不会失望的!!

我第一次“白水漂流”,简直说不出有多好玩。与我同行的人基本都是一对一对的,而且以前也玩过漂流,他们问了导游Randy很多关于不同河段的问题,他就给我们讲不同的河段艰险程度,急流的等级,以及最佳漂流时间等等。Randy是特别好的导游,我们从来没有卡在岩石中,也没有人落水。我是在2012年1月9号去的,三天过去了,我还在和所有人讲当时有多好玩。我推荐这里给所有人,我特别推荐Randy导游。我简直等不及明年再来了。

My boyfriend set this trip up for us. It was so much fun! Our guide, Big Steve, was great! We will definitely go back to SMO!

Our whole family went. It was 7 of us. Randy was awesome so much fun and very knowledgeable of the river and the raft. We would defenatly recommend this to anyone old or young.

We visited in August but only did the family float and raft. We were late getting there and missed our time slot but they were great and put us on the next trip down steam. Our guide was excellent and pointed out lots as we floated down and went through the smaller rapids, lots of info and history on the mountains.At one point we could get into the river and swim which me and my son did. Ended with a class 3 and bus trip back to base. A great place to visit, just allow plenty of time to get there.

Chose smoky mountain outdoors for our first experience white water rafting when we visited in July. We were 3 adults and 4 boys ages 6,7,8 and 9. We did the lower pigeon mainly because the age of our kids as they were too young to do the upper. It was very safe and the kids loved it. Definitely not what I would consider fun as it was too slow for me. I'm 45 yrs of age and would have preferred something a little faster. Most important is that the kids loved it after all the trip was for them. Very safe overall especially for kids. I don't know about the upper as we did not do it. The place is VERY organized and safety oriented. Price is a lot less than I expected. Something very important when you have kids and need to be able to afford to do different things. It was a little crowded, but it was expected as we were I the middle of summer. Everyone very friendly and helpful.

Experinced river rafting for first time on family vacation. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a great experience. I believe our family has found a new hobby. It did not take long to feel comfortable on the water under Stanley's experienced guidance. I think my 9 year old was a little nervous, which made me concerned as well. Stanley made sure Wyatt felt comfortable while giving the rest of us an exciting fun experience. By the end of the trip we were all looking for the class 4 rapids. Thank you Stanley and SMO for making our family vacation exciting and memorable.

Our first time rafting in August and Roscoe was the best!!! He was entertaining and very knowledgeable about every aspect of our journey. Awesome time!!1

When we signed up for this trip we had no idea what to expect. We've seen pictures it looked both exciting and scary at the same time and neither of us had any experience. We didn't need any Rev Dean's years of experience shined through and all of us in the raft who had never been rafting before not only had an awesome time but were safe in doing so. We are definitely planning another trip and asking for Rev Dean.

Our group of four had the best trip ever with Rev Dean! We had a 71 year old and a 69 nine year with us and they loved the trip! Great rapids and safety was always his first priority. He was very knowledgeable about the terrain and lots of fun. Rev Dean has logged over 3500 trips as a guide, none better. Book him!

Our guide Reverend Dean was a wonderful tour guide. My husband and I did this on our honeymoon and I was nervous at first but our guide made me feel more comfortable. Had a blast, would love to do it again. The only part I didn't like was that it is $20 for one picture given to you on a cd and $40 for all 15 or 16 pictures given to you on a cd. Pretty steep pricing considering they don't print it or frame it. You have to then go somewhere else to print the picture.

White water rafting is something I've always wanted to try. I was nervous before we went about how safe it would be for my kids. I have two daughters 11 and 14. The 14 year old is often reluctant to try new things and gets upset easily. Our guide Chris couldn't have been better. He reassured her and put her at ease, even throwing himself into the river to show how it wasn't a bad thing. The trip down river was fun and exciting. Chris told us about the different rapids and pointed out wildlife along the way which I found to be interesting since we were visitors to the area. I can't recommend this activity enough to anyone wanting to try something new. We've got some great memories and pictures of our day that we'll always remember. Thanks Chris :)

this was our first time rafting we took our 8 year old girl with us we were put with a guide named Amelia along with a family with a disabled daughter Amelia was very nice and safe she let my daughter steer the raft along with her could not ask for a better guide of place to raft thanks the young family mobile al
