A Destination for Thrill Seekers

With spectacular falls and an abundance of wildlife, the Chattooga is one of the top destinations for adventurers and thrill seekers. We have three kinds of trips:

Whitewater Rafting
Canoing
Kayaking

Each mode of travel comes with our expert instruction, as each kind of craft is unique and rides differently in the water and over rapids. We’ll take you along section IV of the Chattooga, where you’re going to confront the steepest dives of any commercially rafted river in the South. Through a quarter mile flume the river descends over 75 feet into the Five Falls. Each is named to give you an idea of what you’re getting into:

Entrance
Corkscrew
Crack In The Rock
Jawbone
Sock Em Dog

Our Guests over The Years

Yep, that’s us! And it started with Deliverance. Southeastern Expeditions opened its doors in 1972, with equipment purchased from Warner Brothers following the filming of the movie Deliverance, with Burt Reynolds and John Voight. The enduring flick made the river famous and put us on the map, bringing the river enough notoriety to be named by congress the first Wild and Scenic River in the south. Our newfound company was the first to bring visitors to the churning white water and steep descents of the Chattooga, just when everyone started beating a trail to come.

Testimonials

I just wanted to let you know that my two friends and I had a great time this past weekend on the overnight trip. We saw the biggest water of our lives and Geoff gave us a thrilling yet safe trip down sections 3 and 4 (he is a real professional)! The food and sleeping accommodations were far better than we expected. You really do have a first rate operation. We will be sure to come back to SEE in the future.
