Dillsboro River Company 18 Macktown Road, Sylva, NC 28779

"Highly recommend Dillsboro River Company. Our group ranged in ages from 6 to 74 and everyone had an amazing time. We had one guided raft and one ducky. Adam, the owner, was super personable and runs a great operation. The rest of the staff, including our guide, Julianna, were fantastic. The shop is excellent, too. Great selection of merch at reasonable prices. Wonderful experience!"

"We love this place! The owners are so kind and friendly and we always have a great experience. This is our third time going with our 6 old son. Michael (our guide) was so kind to our son, especially when he was afraid to jump from the rock. I can’t say enough kind words about this young man… he made our trip memorable! We also saw a bald eagle which was awesome!"

"Had a great time on our guided tour . The kids had a blast our guide Kinsey( I believe ) was a rock star . Wish I would have purchased an underwater camera so I could have gotten more photos ! Highly recommended for beginners like us ."

"Amazing!!! Mary was the nicest woman I've met while in NC. You can tell she loves what she does, and that love pours into her work. She couldn't have been more pleasant if she tried. The river was picturesque and breathtaking. Be sure to wear sunscreen though! I recommend renting the ducky rafts. They are the most fun. The rapids are pretty mild, so it's completely safe for children. They do offer guided tours if you'd like as well. I highly recommend the gift shop as well. Unlike every other tourist attraction, their prices were extremely reasonable, and the merchandise (t-shirts, hats etc) were very good quality. 10/10 HIghly recommend!!!!"
