Excellent Experience My boyfriend and I did the marathon trip on 10/9. Our trip leader, Ark, was very knowledgeable and personable. We were fortunate to also end up in a group of like-minded people and we got along super well, making the trip even more fun than imagined. The river itself was such a great trip with exhilarating class V rapids along the upper and lower rivers. Not too technical so great for someone still rather new to rafting. Lunch was PHENOMENAL and all of the staff were super kind and laid back. We cannot wait to come back and bring family or friends along for another trip in the future.

The Gauley Throwback was a huge thrill The Gauley Throwback was a huge thrill! The six of us enjoyed paddling the upper on day 1, camping riverside with meals provided by the AOTG staff, and a blast on the lower Gauley the next day. We were really spoiled by camaraderie with the other patrons and we all had such a memorable time. While I was not personally offended by any language used by the staff or those on tour, I did have other people's teenagers touring with me and I would have preferred that our guide used words that were less coarse. Nevertheless, it was a trip I had been waiting years to take, and it was well worth it!

Check-in was easy Check-in was easy. Cabins were clean as always. Guides were professional, fun and personable. Virus response was good, even when all around (Beckley, etc) did not take it seriously. Some of us traveling from harder hit areas know differently. Overall, reliably good and consistent.

2 Day Gauley River Overnight 2 Day Gauley River Overnight PROS The rafting adventure experience was epic from beginning to end. Our guide Wiik was world class and a pleasure to be around. The chef prepared food on the trip was excellent! The overall experience was terrific. There were hot showers at the campsite and unlimited fire wood. CONS The video which was available for purchase was triple the cost of other (lengthier) videos we got and the quality was not up to standard and much shorter than the previous videos we got for one day trips. That felt a bit advantageous and unfair. The trip is not inexpensive and perhaps the video could be included as a complimentary addition.
