Wahoos Adventures professionally trained guides will ensure a fun and safe trip for each guest. No previous whitewater rafting experience is needed. Suitable for children ages 3 and up. 

Wahoo’s 6 acre riverfront property is available for the enjoyment of our guests to picnic and relax both before and after their whitewater rafting with family and friends on the breath taking Watauga River.
