EDGE of the WORLD NC Whitewater Rafting, Rock Climbing and Rappelling 394 Shawneehaw Avenue South, Banner Elk, NC 28604

"An absolute amazing fun time! All of the guides were awesome and added to the experience. This is definitely a great family experience for people of all ages. I was a solo rafter, but enjoyed myself just as much as the families. Do yourself a favor and book this experience."

"This is by far the best tour to take in the area!!! The guides were great! Levi, Dave, Spud were fantastic. They were very engaging and friendly. Seemed to really want to get to know people. The bus ride was filled with bad jokes, puns, and skits in the best way. Loads of "dad jokes" sometimes it was a bit hard to hear because the windows were down and wind was blowing, but it kept the ride entertaining and fun and made a boring ride interesting. The kids on the bus were laughing so hard. The lady sitting behind us said she can't remember the last time she laughed so hard. We were in kayaks, which was a BLAST, I enjoyed it more than i wouldve in a boat. You travel a few rapids and pull off to the banks and get out. They feed you a delicious lunch. There are bathrooms there too. After lunch, you get about 45 minutes to run the level 3 rapids over and over again. This was fun. ONLY TOUR THAT WAS DOING THIS! Safety is their first concern and they did a fantastic job of retrieving people when they fell out of boats or kayak. My husband went into "the hole" and flipped the kayak. They were great and were able to get him back quick and safe. After time is up, you finish the 4 miles and get out to the bus for a comedy trip back. It would be so easy for them to just go through the rapids and take you back. They would be able to do more tours in a day and probably make more money as a business. Money doesn't seem to be what it's about for them. They curated a whole experience that will have lots of great memories and will be talked about forever. If you choose another tour, you're missing out. This is by far one of my favorite tours EVER!"

"Dave was our guide down the river. Levi and Wells were on our bus ride. I can't say enough about these guys and this company! We laughed from the moment we arrived in the parking lot esp the comedic ride to and from til we unloaded after the long day. My son Aden has C.P. and we were able to enjoy the day perfectly! Food was outstanding best fried chicken ever! Definitely try these guys out!"

"When you book a trip with EOW it is so much more that a rafting trip. You are entertained from the time you pull into the parking lot until you arrive back at the HQ to view the awesome pictures they took while you were on the river. I can’t say enough great things about the team at EOW! If you don’t like to laugh, have a blast with awesome people, and eat great food all for a great price then this is not a trip for you."

"The family loved the white water rafting tour! The guides we so much fun, they had tons of joke to keep us entertained the entire day. Home made chicken they served was everyone’s favorite. We want to do it again next year just to enjoy the food again. I can not praise the staff more. Thank you Ford, you were the best! I’m sure your already knew that."
