This team is by far the best for rafting down the Chattooga River. We’ve gone each year for the past 3 years and they always Rick! Very knowledgeable and always make safety a priority.

Went Friday September 29. It was an amazing experience. Our whole group loved every minute of it. Our guide Dillon was extremely knowledgeable not just of rafting but with all the history surrounding the area. The water was low which provided us with an unique experience that doesn’t happen often. We will be going again in the spring to experience different conditions. The area is as beautiful as any you can imagine. Our group ranged from 8 to 58 and everyone was exilerated and yet always felt safe. Could not recommend it more.

Excellent Class IV Rapids… Staff and guides are top knock. The river is very technical, runs fast, has gorgeous waterfalls to stop at, and scenery is very natural throughout the route with very little urban crossing. Loved the many 8-10ft drops. Food was delicious!

We drove up from Florida and this was the first time rafting for our family and we had a fantastic time. Great scenery and a thrilling and a little scary drop near the end – unforgettable memories. The staff is topnotch especially our guide Jandy and Matt – they all work well as a team. I highly recommend this group – you will not be disappointed. We’ll definitely be back!

What an amazing time! Austin and Matt were our guides. We had a party of seven so we were split into two separate rafts and both groups loved their guides. I highly recommend this company. If you are fortunate enough to get Austin you will get a rapids guide and stand up comedian all for one great price. We will definitely be back for more adventures.

What a fantastic experience! Our guide Grace was phenomenal and made our experience so much fun and we also had Cam on our raft, who was so fun to talk to (he has some pretty sweet vocals too) Grace and Cam made a great team, they’re both very knowledgeable, have great personalities, professional and fun! The whole experience with Southeastern Expeditions was great, everybody is super friendly and everybody’s main concern is your safety. This group is very well organized and they put a lot of time into safety measures and still make it so much fun. We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend this company to anybody looking for a full day of fun with a beautiful scenery with a group of super fun people!

🌊 Southeastern goes a step above the regular tour, they take the time surf a wave, swim in the river, take some scenic detours, etc. Great tour, our raft guide Oliver was great.
