"AWESOME EXPERIENCE!"
Our family had a fantastic time rafting with Edge of the World. The guides gave a comedy show on the bus ride which was hilarious. The rafting was a blast. The lunch was incredible. Everything was homemade and probably one of the best meals I have had on my trip. The guides were fantastic, they were very professional and kept us all feeling safe while having a great time. One of the best parts of going through Edge of the World is they lease the land where the class 3 rapids are located therefore we were able to run those rapids several times which was great. Highly recommend Edge of the World. It was definitely a highlight of our Banner Elk vacation.
