      Gus, Dylan, and Spiriden are exceptional employees. They guided our Family Rafting group with poise and confidence. They were kind and friendly to our young children. We had a blast and would recommend this company again and again

      The Lehigh River is a gem.

      The staff at WhiteWater Adventures is very unprofessional. On the van trip to the put in the driver and the safety boater loudly disscussed payroll issues, lunch issues with the on site café and their co workers. These two were audiable to us sitting in the back of the van.

      Once we got to the Lehigh River, I had hoped the staff would be more professional. I was wrong. Their behavior got worse.

      The Trip Leader, a man named Jake, openly swore. The staff dissed the customers. I understand that their needs to be an evaluation before a river trip. This wasn't an evaluation of skills. The staff were making fun of the customers.

      The Lehigh River is a gem. Just find another company to explore it with.

      This is a great way to introduce yourself and your family/friends to whitewater rafting. Be prepared for a full day from sign in to finish. Check in, safety briefing, bus ride, rafting, swimming, lunch, rafting, swimming and final bus ride. Once back you cab change to dry clothes and hit the snack bar for food and libations. Big barn fire to hang around and chat. We were a group of 7 adults and had no problem all being in one boat. The family ride was very easy and controllable with few places to get hungup ( rocks, trees or underpass) There are guides in front, back and throughout to keep everyone safe and moving along. Overall we had a really good time rafting, paddling and having water fights with other boaters and the pirates. Watershoes a must, bring water to drink and water guns or canons to defend yourself. The lunch was all you could eat- hot dogs, PBJ's, chips, salad and water or lemonade.
      Can't wait to try a more challenging adventure next time.
      Enjoy!

      Went there to do a zip lining, and found out there's a check-in deal with the Yelp app! It's a beautiful space and provides different event such as paintball, rafting and zip lining, there is also a cafeteria setup inside incase you want a quick recharge before or after your adventure, price is reasonable and food is decent. And of course there's a gift shop(mostly clothing) because they have a listing of banned outfit for certain adventures(short shorts, flip flops etc.)

      My husband & I have been here a couple of times & highly recommend it! We had so much fun! The staff is highly knowledgeable, works hard to ensure safety, & also makes sure it's a good time! We feel they provide a personal experience for everyone unlike other places we've been where we felt lost in the crowd. Their grounds are beautiful, neat, & clean. The river is amazing offering some stunning views. Can't wait to go again!

      I can't say enough great things about this company. Four of my friends and I went for the 4th of July weekend raft and zip. Everything from registration on was a piece of cake. I reserved our raft with Hilary and she was so accommodating, professional, and friendly.

      When we arrived Beatrice and the cute blonde haired kid (totally forgot his name and I apologize) directed us where to park. The facility has a gift shop, outdoor chairs and tables, a nice cafe, locker rooms with hot showers, bathrooms, and changing stalls. So you basically check in, fill out a quick waiver form for the white water rafting, stash your lunch in sealed buckets they provide, pick up your paddle and life jacket, and then there's a 15 minute safety course. I'm so bad with names but the older brolic guy (Steven?) did the safety course and was basically the "captain" of our entire crew (which consisted of about 20+ rafts with 4-8 people in each raft. He was hilarious!!

      So after the brief safety course you load up on the busses and get dropped off at Lehigh river which is about a 5 minute drive. We had the cute blonde girl (Courtney???) as our guide throughout the trip. All of the staff were super helpful.

      The water on the river was sooo nice. We started our trip around 1230 ish and ended around 4:30pm. Some parts were smooth sailing but we had a good amount of rapids at about 5 to 6 different spots. There's also a ton of rocks that you have to avoid or you can capsize the raft. Some parts were challenging but this rafting trip is good for beginners. You stop 1/2 way down the river to eat lunch on a rocky beach. There were also calm parts of the river where we got out to swim. One of the best parts was messing around with the other rafters. They supply you with a white bucket to take out any water that gets into your raft, but during the safety course we were told we could use the bucket to splash other rafters. It was literally a battle and free-for-all!!! Lol. One guy got so carried away from splashing us, he slipped and fell face first into the river! It was hilarious.

      There was also an instance where one of the rafters hit her ankle on a rock or something and got hurt. Our raft had the safety kit so the cute blonde haired guide had to jump from his kayak onto our raft, retrieve the ice pack and other supplies to help the lady out, and jump back onto his kayak while we were in the middle of rapids!

      It was literally one of the funnest days ever!!! Lol. After the rafting they have a BBQ with unlimited free food such as hotdogs, chips, pretzels, etc. and then after that we did the 900ft zip line! Super fun.

      They also do a dam release every other weekend after July 4th where the rapids are really intense. I can't wait to come back!
