Testimonials from Guests of NARR

What a fantastic experience! I originally called to book the Upper New since I had never been rafting before and was a little intimidated by the descriptions of the Lower New. I was convinced by Laura that we'd have so much more fun on the Lower New and she was completely correct! It was a blast and Dave has to be the best guide on the river! I'm so glad we chose NARR. I was a little scared, but felt completely safe and comfortable that NARR was going to make sure I got down the river in one piece. Our whole group really enjoyed the trip. I can't wait to come back and bring more friends! Thanks, NARR!

Kim was very helpful when making the reservations. We took the Upper New trip with Jo Beth and Scott. Both were great! We took the Lower New trip with Casey as our guide and Mike as our trip leader. Once again, both were great! Lee was our bus driver both days. He certainly knows how to drive those WV roads. Accomodations (tent cabin) and food were as advertised. NARR was recommended to us by a friend. We will recommend it to others. Thanks for a great trip!

My sons, my wife, and I all had a terrific time on the New River with our guide, Kathy. When I made my reservations by phone from Miami, I told Katie that I only had one shot to make this a great experience for my boys, since we were only going to be in Fayetteville for one day. I can say without any doubts that this was the best whitewater rafting experience I ever had, and my family feels the same way. Thanks to all of you, and especially to our incredible, wonderful, knowledgable, and fun guide, Kathy!

Dear Kim,

I just wanted to thank you and all of the staff at NARR for an incredible visit to Hico and the New River Gorge. The facilities were fantastic and everybody was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Please let Ellis know that we all had a great time on the river, and that we hope to have a chance to look him up some time in the future, whether we return with another school group or simply on our own to do some climbing and paddling. Thanks again for all of your help with the logistics and making it possible for our group to do this.

A group of 10 came rafting, all for the first time. We did the high adventure and we got so much more than we expected out of the whole experience. We LOVED the guides, who went out of their way to show us a good time, not only rafting but hiking and rock jumping. Everything about NARR was organized and easy for us which is what we wanted on our short vacation. We won't forget your hospitality and would recommend NARR to anyone. Don't worry, we plan to come back during Gauley season. Thanks again NARR :)

I took a group of high school students from Virginia Beach on your rafting trip last year and my students have been talking about it ever since. We all had a wonderful time! Your hospitality was first class! The guides were caring, daring and full of stories that truly personalized our river experience. NARR quenched our thirst for adventure while providing us with pristine overnight accommodations. The washrooms and dining facilities were nothing less than exceptional! On all accounts I would say that you have spoiled us rotten and we could not have been happier.

The staff is helpful, kind, well trained, and enthusiastic – that’s what makes your company stand above the rest. Keep up the awesome work. We’ll be back.


Awesome! Chris was a tremendous guide! You have done an outstanding job making the experience memorable! We’ll be back! Thanks!


Staff is awesome! Facilities are great. Great atmosphere, very relaxing, awesome place, I will be back!


Brent was an awesome guide – thanks. Tasha was a great trip leader. This was our second time here – 15 years later – awesome staff & company. Thanks!

Whether we bring a group of 23 or 323, NARR is always there with the best accomodations and guides to serve us. By the time the weekend is over, no one is ready to leave and the anticipation for when we will come again is already flowing. The mix of professionalism and leisure that NARR's staff provides is truly an asset - from the bus ride to the first rapid to lunch on the river and socializing at the campground that night, a rafting experience at NARR is always an unforgettable experience! Thanks so much again for all of your hard work!

We had a group of about 50 people who rafted with us and NARR surpassed our expectations. From the day on the river to the quality facilities at the campground to the fun around the campfire we had a spectacular experience. The trip leader and all the guides had a comfortable, easy professionalism about them which made the day on the river a blast. There is no doubt we will be back next year (the Gauley perhaps?) with an even bigger group! Thanks NARR!

The dinner selection was great (steak, baked potato, garden salad, veggies) especially after a fun day of rafting. We were hungry! Our server was prompt, friendly and courteous. We will be recommending High Country Cafe to our friends.

Dear NARR Staff,

This is a short memo to thank you for the totally awesome adventure that your company provided for us this past weekend. We did the white water rafting adventure on 8 Jul 06. Our family is still talking about it. We purchased two pictures from your shop that the photographer shot of us. I took those pictures to work and some of my coworkers said that it looked fun and that they would like to try it someday.

Chris and Mike were outstanding water guides, absolute humor is the key to a great trip and they provided just that, keeping safty at the forefront at all times. It was great that they stopped at different locations along the way to let the kids jump out and swim.

The bus driver was great too and very informative. I don't remember his name but I know that he recommended a restaurant called Gumbo's to us. We found it based on his directions, ate there and loved it. Chris and the ex-guide (a female) also told us about snorkeling in clear water at Summersville Lake. We went to the lake, rented the snorkeling gear, but didn't find the area to snorkel in clear waters; maybe next time.

We do plan on returning there next summer in July to take on another water adventure. We even have two families who said they want to join us next time. So keep up the good work and keep people like Chris and Mike on board, who believe and demonstrate that safety and fun can go hand in hand.

Again, thanks for the mega fun experience and we will see you next summer.

Forever Fun,
Oliver S. & Family
