I highly recommend this trip iff you are a local or visiting the area raft with Zoar! It was just over a 2hr drive for us to get there, and it's great to have a way to enjoy rafting as a day trip. The staff are friendly, helpful, funny, and made the whole day fun. Good rapids and some nice big hits.
– Kimberly N., TripAdvisorWhat a fantastic experience! Cora was amazing. It is truly a bucket list checkoff that's a must, even if you have no experience...you will learn everything you need to know from these amazing guides. Great employees are hard to find, but every single one couldn't stop saying how much they not only love their job but they loved working for Zoar.
– Amanda B., TripAdvisorMy wife and I took a white water canoeing lesson at Zoar. Jim was a terrific instructor, very patient and genuinely concerned about improving our skills. Moreover, the tone of the whole establishment was considerate and helpful; I'm guessing that some of that comes from the top down.
– Loren K., TripAdvisorFrom booking to meeting Kevin, who was very friendly helpful and informative, our guides were Emi and Hannah, two of the nicest young ladies you could ever wish to meet. Our safety was of paramount importance but we also had a good laugh. The girls were extremely professional informative and full of local knowledge.
